This study of S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike, the pivotal figure in the
emergence of modern politics in Sri Lanka, makes a major
contribution to an important yet neglected period in the country's
political history. Dr James Manor explores the personal and
political dimensions of Bandaranaike's life, concentrating on the
economic, social, political and cultural forces which had a
substantial bearing upon his story. Bandaranaike is assessed as a
member of that generation of Asian and African leaders who presided
over the transition from imperial rule to assertive self-government
and helped to develop new modes of politics. Bandaranaike's story
illuminates the development of democratic politics in Sri Lanka as
well as the origins of current tensions between Sinhalese and
Tamils, which threaten to destroy democracy and the island's social
cohesion.
