It has been accepted for inclusion in History Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J. YOUNG Under the Direction of David McCreery ABSTRACT This is an analysis of Goan identity issues in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries using unconventional sources such as novels, short stories, plays, pamphlets, periodical articles, and internet newspapers. The importance of using literature in this analysis is to present how Goans perceive themselves rather than how the government, the tourist industry, or tourists perceive them. Also included is a discussion of post-colonial issues and how they define Goan identity. Chapters include “Goan Identity: A Concept in Transition,” “Goan Identity: Defined by Language,” and “Goan Identity: The Ancestral Home and Expatriates.” The conclusion is that by making Konkani the official state language, Goans have developed a dual Goan/Indian identity. In addition, as the Goan Diaspora becomes more widespread, Goans continue to define themselves with the concept of building or returning to the ancestral home. INDEX WORDS: Goa, India, Goan identity, Goan Literature, Post-colonialism, Identity issues, Goa History, Portuguese Asia, Official languages, Konkani, Diaspora, The ancestral home, Expatriates DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J.

  • North Goa 141
    © Lonely Planet Publications 141 North Goa Packaged neatly between the Terekhol and Mandovi Rivers, North Goa encompasses most of what many folks come to Goa seeking: the relentless action of Calangute and Baga, the kooky hippie vibe of Arambol and Anjuna, the remnants of the trance-party scene at Vagator, the thick charas (cannabis or hashish) smoke at Chapora, the laid-back beach paradises of Aswem and Mandrem, the five-star havens at Candolim and Sinquerim, and the hideaway luxury boltholes interspersed neatly throughout, many in gorgeously atmospheric heritage homes. It was not, however, always this way. Until the 1960s Calangute, nowadays Goa’s most raucous package resort, was the watering hole of the Portuguese elite, who arrived in May for their annual mudança (movement), to ‘take the air’ along the sedate seaside promenade. Aside from Calangute, the northern coastal strip remained a simple string of fishing villages, bounded to the south by the Portuguese Fort Aguada, and to the north by Terekhol Fort. Towards the end of the ’60s came the heady hippie days of naked revellers, drugs and ‘flower NORTH GOA power’; next came the all-night trance parties of the ’80s and ’90s, and, simultaneously, the package-holiday hordes. Today, the key to enjoying North Goa lies in knowing exactly what you’re after. If you’re here for spiritually slanted tranquillity, don’t go to Baga on a Friday night, more Ibiza than Inner Peace. Similarly, if you’re here to live it up a little, don’t roll up at Mandrem, where the liveliest thing you’ll find is a high-energy ashtanga yoga session.
