This collection of essays brings together established scholars of
Lusophone Goan literature from India, Brazil, Portugal and Great
Britain. For the first time in English, this volume traces the key
narrative works, authors and themes of this small but significant
territory. Goa, a Portuguese colony between 1510 and 1961, was the
site of a particular and particularly intense meeting of West and
East. The problematic yet productive encounter between Europe and
India that has characterised Goa's history is a major theme in its
literature, which affords important insights and material for
post-colonial thought. Goan literature in Portuguese is the only
significant Indian literature to have been written in a European
language other than English and, as such, provides both a
challenging point of comparison with anglophone Indian literature
and a space to examine post-colonial theory often implicitly
embedded in a British Indian colonial experience.
