Works about this Work

The Lives of Ancestors : Sri Lankan First Arrivals in Australia Chandani Lokuge , 2019 single work criticism
— Appears in: Interventions : International Journal of Postcolonial Studies , September vol. 22 no. 2 2019; (p. 129-144)

'Arguing that the past informs our present and indeed our future as migrants, this essay focuses on the history of movement and interaction of the earliest Sri Lankans who emigrated to Australia in the late nineteenth century. Rather than follow a sequential narrative arc, I use a personal essay form that allows me to humanize the migrant by identifying imaginatively with the migrant's sense of self, and through that strategy, question assumptions about singular national, ethnic and religious identity in the light of transnational border-crossings.'
