This book explores popular, political and symbolic meanings assigned to dress in a variety of colonial contexts in Sri Lanka; thus it focuses on the politics of nationalism and identity under late colonialism. Proceeding from the understanding that self-representation is at its peak at the moment of political independence, the author examines the lineages that exist between that moment in Sri Lanka and the colonial past, as also the meaning of the commemorations that took place on Independence Day.
