Mirror to Goa: Identity and The Written Word in a Small Society

Who is a Goan? What goes into shaping the Goan identity? This is an American look at the work of Goan fiction writers and scholars, and how their understanding shapes their views on identity. Novels, plays, short stories, essays, and pamphlets reveal many aspects of Goan life -- specially about social status, race, political and social issues. This book presents an analysis of relevant literature. It also studies periodicals, interviews, internet sites and bulletin boards, to provide a panoramic view of issues from Goa.
