Goa Masala: An anthology of stories by Canadian Goans

Canada has become home to a growing number of Goans. Tracing their roots to the former Portuguese colony (now India's smallest State), they have come from varied destinations. What experiences have shaped their background? What memories do they carry with them? This anthology captures their stories, fiction and non-fiction, and reminiscences. First published in Canada, *Goa Masala* is an initiative of the 55PGA (55 Plus Goan Association). It is now being published in Goa itself. In both cases, the goal is to keep memories of another time alive; a task specially crucial amidst a community believed to have one of the highest per capita out-migration rates in the world. Essays include non-fiction, memoirs and creative writing set among the "Africander" community of Goans in Africa, stories from Goa itself, adjustment issues in North America, details about life in Burma, and things your children should be definitely knowing more about.
