It looks to develop new, creative, and alternative concepts of community and nation-building as envisaged in Sri Lanka’s rich contemporary art scene, i.e. literature, theatre, film, and performing and visual arts. The individual chapters authored by prominent academics as well as renowned artists critically engage with a pertinent selection of contemporary Sri Lankan works of art and their visions of what a multi-ethnic, multi-religious Sri Lanka might look like in the aftermath of three decades of war, a severe economic crisis and the tenacious protests of 2022 (Aragalaya).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47605308260503,"sku":"9781041282082","price":1117.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041282082.webp?v=1775025759","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/contemporary-sri-lankan-literature-and-art-the-creation-of-a-new-community-in-the-aftermath-of-war-9781041282082","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
