Selma Carvalho in conversation with Canadian writer Tina Athaide uncovers the history of the Athaide family and the basis of her book 'Orange for the Sunsets.' Our ties to Uganda date back to 1927. My grandfather, Anthonio Athaide, was the first family member to move to Entebbe. He worked as an accountant for the Public Works Department and played cricket for the Uganda team...We were the only family of colour in the city. I remember other kids yelling, “Go home Paki!” and being taunted for no other reason than being brown. https://www.joaoroqueliteraryjournal.com/nonfiction-1/2019/10/6/tina-athaide-forgotten-histories-of-uganda-goans
