Abstract
When Gananath Obeyesekere retired from the Princeton University Department of Anthropology in 1999, he began another stage in his prolific career. Over the past two decades, he has produced two large volumes of comparative history, one on cross-cultural readings of rebirth and karma, 1 and another on awakening and transcendent visions. 2 Meanwhile, he continued his longstanding pursuit of Sri Lankan history as expressed in its folk poetry, dramatic ritual, and vernacular chronicles. This new work has included Sinhala publications
