  • The Year's Big Event Is Almost Here!
    Portuguese Heritage Society of California Issue 2, May, 2016 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE YEAR’S BIG EVENT IS ALMOST HERE! On Saturday, June 11 we celebrate with our festival Dia de Portugal at History Park, Kelley Park, Senter Road at Phelan, San Jose. There’s music and dance entertainment all day–10 a.m. to 5 p.m – with a great parade at noon. Stroll the park to see art and book exhibitions and information booths. Of course children will enjoy their carnival. And all of this is FREE. Then there’s the food–oh, so delicious! From the classic linguiça sandwich or pork sandwich and all kinds of seafood to the Hawaiian-style donuts inspired by the Portuguese settlers there and Macau’s delicacies, there’s something for everyone. Enjoy fava beans, codfish salad, or rice pudding. Stock up on massa sovada (sweet bread) and quejadas (custard tarts) from Popular Bakery and Silva Bakery. You can try some new California or Portuguese wines, even Portuguese beer and soda. Visit the Portuguese Historical Museum to see new exhibits, this year featuring pioneer families whose contributions touch our lives even today. Most were dairymen or orchardists, but there was a banker, a lawyer, even an early real estate developer. We visit parks where their dairies once stood (Vasona Park and Raging Waters), and we see their names on street signs. Another special presentation is on the remarkable pavements of the Portuguese world, the black and white mosaic-like stone designs of sidewalks and plazas. Two visitors from Portugal will display photos and a lovely new book on the calçadas (pavements).

  • The Shaping of Modern Gujarat
    A probing took beyond Hindutva to get to the heart of Gujarat THE SHAPING OF MODERN Many aspects of mortem Gujarati society and polity appear pulling. A society which for centuries absorbed diverse people today appears insular and patochiai, and while it is one of the most prosperous slates in India, a fifth of its population lives below the poverty line. J Drawing on academic and scholarly sources, autobiographies, G U ARAT letters, literature and folksongs, Achyut Yagnik and Such Lira Strath attempt to Understand and explain these paradoxes, t hey trace the 2 a 6 :E e o n d i n a U t V a n y history of Gujarat from the time of the Indus Valley civilization, when Gujarati society came to be a synthesis of diverse peoples and cultures, to the state's encounters with the Turks, Marathas and the Portuguese t which sowed the seeds ol communal disharmony. Taking a closer look at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the authors explore the political tensions, social dynamics and economic forces thal contributed to making the state what it is today, the impact of the British policies; the process of industrialization and urbanization^ and the rise of the middle class; the emergence of the idea of '5wadeshi“; the coming £ G and hr and his attempts to transform society and politics by bringing together diverse Gujarati cultural sources; and the series of communal riots that rocked Gujarat even as the state was consumed by nationalist fervour. With Independence and statehood, the government encouraged a new model of development, which marginalized Dai its, Adivasis and minorities even further.
