Fw: Portugal’s Colonialism in Asia (1510-1961)

[Gilbert Lawrence]

Merry Christmas!

Happy, Prosperous and Healthy New Year!

Attached is this newsletter on issues affecting GEMs (Goan, East-Indian, and Mangalorean): “Portugal’s Colonialism in Asia (1510-1961): A Brief History.” Knowing and understanding the past helps us to understand ourselves better.   Grasping the scope of one’s inheritance should give a more nuanced base to make our decisions. To the diaspora, the land has the ashes of their ancestors and is the abode of our deities and saints. We hope to unfreeze the events by presenting to the readers when, why, and how of past events.

We hope you enjoy reading this aspect of GEM history.  There is a lot of ‘food for thought.’ Please forward these articles to your relatives, friends, peers, Indian and Iberian chat sites. Sharing history is sharing our cultural heritage; and the work is for us, by us. Thank you for allowing us to share this with you.

Also uploaded on the Amazon's book platform is the fifth edition of our book with a much-expanded section on the internal (within India) and external (International) diaspora.  For more Information on the book, Authors, Table of Contents, and a Sample Read please see: Insights into Colonial Goa: Fifth Edition

Sincerely,

Philomena and Gilbert Lawrence
