Headline: Book on Goan diaspora readies for British launch Source: Britain News, 24 July 2010
Excerpts: Sunday's British Goan Festival will see the launch of a book on Goan diaspora experiences. And first-time author Selma Carvalho, who has lived in Dubai, the US and now Britain, insists she is simply "a Goan". The 290-page "Into the Diaspora Wilderness" throws light, perhaps for the first time, on the ties between the Goans and Britons ... She is in Britain with her husband Savio and young daughter Lauren... She says, "Today there are many Goans in the UK and the current generation of them clearly says they're British..." Carvalho says she is naturally excited that her book is being launched in Britain and that too at a Goan festival. It is the country's premier Goan annual event held in Croydon in south London. The book will be launched in Goa next month...
