will help understand goan society. It is for a general reader. Can you
recommend and send the book by June 16, to Focus Bookshop, 140/2

Thank you so much and sorry for being a bother.

This was my answer to Alvito, who runs the Focus Bookshop in
Malleswaram, Bangalore, along with Ivo (also from Goa):

OPENQUOTE

Two books are particularly interesting:

* Robert S Newman's collected essays.
* Norman Dantas' collected essays.

Both are available from the Other India Bookstore (copied).

If you want Modern Goan Literature, the anthology by Peter Nazareth,
you could order it from them too. It's a good collection of Goan
writing from different languages.

ENDQUOTE

Of course, this would reflect my own biases, and also the restrictions
about the languages I can read without difficulty.

There are other interesting books too. In my younger days, I
appreciated B G D'Souza interpretation of Goa, Newman's essay on Goa:
The Transformation of an Indian Region (not quite a book, but an essay
in Pacific Affairs, Fall 1983), among others. FN

Hi Fred,

There is "Ethnography of Goa, Daman and Diu" by A. B. de Braganca
Pereira, translated by Maria Aurora Couto and which was first
published as a two-volume edition in Portuguese in 1940.

I enjoyed it thoroughly.

With best regards,

Have been planning to read Robinsons' book for ages, but somehow have not managed to get hold of it.
Thanks for the reminder, Jason.
