	Ethnography Of Goa, Daman And Diu by A.B. De Bragança Pereira
	Price : Rs 899.00
	Your Price : Rs 701.22

The intellectual and cultural efflorescence in Goa reached its apogee in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Antonio Bernardo de Bragança Pereira was a product of this time, and Ethnography of Goa, Daman and Diu is an expression of the author’s passionate interest in scholarship and research into various dimensions of Goan life. His intellectual curiosity and critical spirit led him to delve deep to understand the élan vital of the society of his ancestors and to catalogue the many dimensions of Goan life. In the book he describes the rituals, customs and manners of various castes and religions, their habitat, their artisanship, their environment and all aspects of Goa and Goan society.

Ethnography of Goa, Daman and Diu was published as a two-volume edition in 1940 in Portuguese. In making the second volume available to a larger readership, the publishers perform a dual role—of bringing this scholarly work to a new generation of readers and in a language that will be accessible. Its publication is a tribute to A.B. de Bragança Pereira’s passionate attachment to Goa and his pride in being a Goan.
