Gilbert Lawrence: The two writers below and many others have mentioned how difficult it is to find Goan-authored English books. A suggestion (which may need refinement) is to 'put together a collection' of these books on a variety of subjects for purchase. Foreign resident Goans can make their own arrangements of how and where to purchase this collection. Would his help the publishers, authors and perhaps some enterprising Goan? Regards. Mervyn Lobo: I forwarded your posting to my sister and she said that she found a wealth of published info on Goans/Indians in Tanzania while researching for her book. The problem is most of the publications/papers are hard to find. A major source/help to her was another Goanetter, Dr. Adolfo Mascarenhas was also researching for his own publication (on Goans in Tanzania?) I also think we should mention that C.F.R.de P. Martins, a Goan, was the Portuguese Consul in Tanganyika. He would have a treasure trove of info on the period leading up to independence. Tony Barros: Not much has been documented about Goans in East Africa, and the little that has been written is not very easily accessible or we do not know how to get hold of the info.
