This book explores the aftermath of the tsunami in Sri Lanka, where coastal communities that are significantly different in terms of social structure, economy, language, religion, kinship, and cultural identity were affected. From a multidisciplinary perspective, it analyses regional and ethnic patterns of post-tsunami reconstruction according to different sectors of Sri Lankan society.
