After the Portuguese arrival in Sri Lanka in 1506 religious identity became central to struggles for power on the island. This book explores the relationship between the Portuguese and the Sinhalese during the following century. It contributes to debates regarding state power, caste, ethnicity, and religious identity in pre-modern Asia.
