Prioritising processes not structures based on the general premise that change rather than stasis is what characterises society, this book focuses on social change in a coastal village in Sri Lanka where change was the result of people reacting to processes at work in the wider economic and political context and were in no way passive victims to forces out of their control.
R.L. Stirrat taught both anthropology and development studies at the University of Sussex for many years. His main research interests have been in social and economic change in coastal Sri Lanka and on the history of the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka. In addition, he has acted as a consultant for various agencies including the FAO, IFAD and DFID.
