Legends of People, Myths of State was written by Bruce Kapferer

The civil war in Sri Lanka and the part that nationalism seemed to play in it inspired the writing of this book in1988[1] The argument was developed through a comparative analysis of nationalism in Sri Lanka with the author’s native Australia.[2] At the time this constituted an innovative approach to comparison in anthropology, as well as to nationalism and its possibilities.[3] It was not based on differences but on the way in which perspectives from within the two nationalisms, when seen side-by-side, could present an understanding of their implication in producing the violence of war, racism, and social exclusion.[4][5]
