Assembling Ethnicities in Neoliberal Times interprets contemporary fiction to unpack neoliberalism's entanglements with nationalism and racism during Sri Lanka's war.

Perera-Rajasingham does so by theorizing ethnographic fiction, a form that has both internalized certain colonial Orientalist impulses and critically engages with categories of objective gazing, empiricism, and temporal distancing. The book explores colonial-era travel writing by Robert Knox (1681) and Leonard Woolf (1913); contemporary works by Michael Ondaatje, Romesh Gunesekera, Shobasakthi, Dharmasiri Bandaranayake, and Thamotharampillai Shanaathanan; and cultural festivals and theatre, including vernacular performances of Euripides' The Trojan Women and women workers' theatre.
