The fate of the newly independent nation is absorbing the attention
of statesmen and scholars. This comprehensive study of Ceylon since
its independence in 1947 provides a case study of the fundamental
issues in these new Asian and African nations. Mr. Wriggins, who
spent two years in Ceylon, presents the full historic, economic,
political, and social background. He discusses the current
political situation in Ceylon, the effect of universal franchise,
the increasing communal disorders, the resulting dilemma of
representative government, the search for an adequate foreign
policy. His findings, which are based on extensive on-the-spot
research, illuminate the crucial problem of political change.
