A fascinating study of the transport infrastructure in 19th century Sri Lanka. Not confined to a mere narrative of the physical expansion of roadways and railways, it presents an in-depth analysis of the economic forces and political motives behind its construction, exploitation of labour, interrelationship between the transport and plantation economy and the impact of transport on economy and society.
