Negotiating Power and Constructing the Nation: Engineering in Sri Lanka

Negotiating Power and Constructing the Nation is the first comprehensive attempt to discuss Sri Lankan engineering in relation to Sinhala nationalism. By selecting three very different engineering sites, this book expands the meaning of 'engineering' and revisits the popular claim by the Sinhalese people - 'engineering is in our blood' - to show how and why this perception has been constructed, modified, and revised ovcer time. The author sheds new light on a growing field of study with his precise exploration of technology and incisive socio-political investigation of Sri Lanka over the past century.
