Dive into the heart of Sri Lankan culture with Colombo: A Critical Introspection, a bold and thought-provoking exploration by Wimarshana Wijesuriya. Departing from the traditional narratives of ancient history and civil war, this book examines the complexities of contemporary Sri Lankan society through the lens of sociology. From the dynamics of Colombo’s chaotic traffic to the nuances of social behaviour at gatherings, Wijesuriya delves into the unseen forces shaping daily life.
Unapologetically critical and refreshingly candid, the book addresses taboo topics such as politics, religion, parenting, and sexuality, challenging the status quo and encouraging readers to rethink their inherited beliefs. With a sharp wit and uncompromising reasoning, Colombo: A Critical Introspection offers readers a chance to engage in profound self-reflection about the Sri Lankan experience.
Whether you are intrigued, inspired, or even unsettled, this book will leave you questioning the cultural fabric of modern Sri Lanka and inspire a deeper understanding of its evolving identity.
