The Disquieting of History
Portuguese (De)colonization and Goan Migration in the Indian Ocean
Pamila Gupta
University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa, [email protected]
This article presents a case study of Goan Mozambicans — a diasporic
group created out of the itinerant quality that characterized
Portuguese (de)colonization in the Indian Ocean. Many chose to
emigrate from Portuguese India to Portuguese Africa between the 1920s
and 1950s. That some Goans chose to stay while others left in the
aftermath of Mozambican independence (1975) is also tied to this
migratory history. An ethnographic life history approach is employed
to access individual varied experiences of migration. Findings will
suggest that Goan Mozambicans occupied an ambiguous position in the
colonial order of things, and identify them as local cosmopolitans in
postcolonial Mozambique.
Key Words: (de)colonization • Goa • Indian Ocean • migration •
