These lineages became one strand in the mixed\/race \u201cBurgher\u201d ethnic group in the island once the whole arena had been unified as colony by Britain between 1815 and 1818.\u00a0<strong>Largely urban in background and increasingly English-speaking at home, these Burgher people became an influential segment of the local \u201cmiddle-class\u201d fulfilling intermediary roles in the British colonial service<\/strong>.<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\"><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-51862 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=375%2C281&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" alt=\"\" width=\"375\" height=\"281\" data-attachment-id=\"51862\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/suc52139\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?fit=2272%2C1704&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2272,1704\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1276439700&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"SUC52139\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/SUC52139.jpg?fit=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Calverley House verandah in Cinamon Gardens in the 20th century \u2014 an epitome of middle class life styles<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As such, there was a significant concentration of Burghers in the City of Colombo and this metropolis was where Percy Colin-Thome set up house. \u00a0Apart from his professional engagements in the legal field, Percy was prominent in the Thespian Society of actors and served as President of the Dutch Burgher Union from 1988-98. I cannot recall how and precisely when our paths crossed in ways that led to our collegial interaction in the manuscript that eventually appeared in print in 1989 under the imprint of Sarvodaya Book Publishing House with the title\u00a0<em>People Inbetween<\/em>\u00a0(the incorrect form of \u201cinbetween\u201d being my imposition \u2014 because I consider it more aesthetic).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Roberts in the 1980s<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This particular outcome of a collaborative enterprise involving Percy, Ismeth and myself cannot be understood without a digression that focuses on my career and the research work pursued in the 1980s. After I received an appointment at the Dept of Anthropology at the University of Adelaide in 1977 my disciplinary training was perforce expanded into sociological and anthropological realms. My appointment was probably directed by an ambitious scheme to study the development of Colombo in a multi-disciplinary manner \u2013 a project developed by Professor Bruce Kapferer and Dr. Kingsley Garbett. Adelaide University\u2019s long vacation extended from November through to the end of January, so one aspect of this project was a detailed survey of the socio-economic and migration details of households in Colombo city via a survey of cross-sections conducted by a troupe of local personnel administering questionnaires. In 1978\/79 Garbett directed this enterprise with me in support (presumably because of my local contacts and knowledge). Kapferer, Garbett, Lee Sackett and Roberts complemented this background statistical work with their own urban studies after year-long stints of research in the city in the following years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">My year\u2019s turn came at the end of 1980 \u2013 so that the Roberts family (Shona, Kim Maya and myself) found a house to rent in Nugegoda in December 1980 and settled down to live there for a year. My focus was ethnographic work on (A) the shanty area in Kirulapona (B) the motor trading shops at Panchikawatte Rd, Maradana<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\"><strong>[2]<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and its successful merchant princes and (C) the historical transformation of the city of Colombo from the 1800s onwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The third line of inquiry, the growth of Colombo, led to of the material that is encompassed in\u00a0<em>People Inbetween<\/em>. It also led me to visit the records office of the Colombo Museum, the Department of National Archives and the Library of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society (then located in the Old Racecourse buildings). It was at the latter site that I banged into Jehan Raheem \u2013 once a fellow student and rugby mate at Ramanathan Hall. This chance event brought me into contact with his younger brother Ismeth, an architect and book collector with an avid interest in the island\u2019s history. The RAS library was (and still is) the repository of the CA Lorenz Manuscripts \u2013 all locked away in a solid cabinet.<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\"><strong>[3]<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These documents \u2013 including copies of letter written as well as a variety of printed articles from the mid-nineteenth century \u2013 are a goldmine. In plunging into this work, I recruited the help of Percy Colin-Thome (a friend of my elder sister Sheila and Rene Ludowyk<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\"><strong>[4]<\/strong><\/a>). The friendship between Percy, Ismeth and myself flowered from that point on. My memory is defective, but I think most of the work that went into the book\u00a0<em>People Inbetween\u00a0<\/em>was pursued in the years 1986\/87 when I had another sabbatical year of research involving a long stay in Colombo and Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-51863 jetpack-lazy-image jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?resize=237%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 237px) 100vw, 237px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?resize=237%2C300&amp;ssl=1 237w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"51863\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thuppahis.com\/2021\/05\/23\/percy-colin-thome-and-the-composition-of-the-book-people-inbetween\/ismeth-2-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?fit=500%2C632&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,632\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ISMETH 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?fit=237%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thuppahis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/ISMETH-2.jpg?fit=500%2C632&amp;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As originally planned,\u00a0<em>People Inbetween\u00a0<\/em>was meant to extend into four volumes.
