Uncover the deep connection between Sri Lanka’s architecture and nationalism in this seminal work. Anoma Pieris expertly dissects how the intimate domestic sphere cultivates national belonging and homeland ideals, analysing colonial self-fashioning and post-colonial identity construction. Examine the power of built form in expressing indigenous accommodation and resistance, as the nation grows from private spaces and rural geographies. A must-read for scholars of South Asian architecture, cultural identity, and post-colonial studies, this book offers invaluable insights into Sri Lanka’s architectural history from the mid-19th century onwards.
