Description:
As an expert on Goan culture and heritage, Michelle Mendonça Bambawale shares her journey of returning to her ancestral home in Siolim, located in North Goa. The pandemic brought an influx of tourists, causing Michelle to question her status as a local and her connection to her Catholic heritage. In this memoir, she delves into themes of identity, culture, and migration, while uncovering the legends and traditions of Siolim. Michelle also reflects on her childhood spent in Goa, without modern amenities, and her concerns about the environmental impact of tourism and development on the land her grandparents left her. Becoming Goan is a captivating and honest account of Michelle's deep love and connection to her homeland.
