Padma Shree Maria Aurora Couto comments:

"Into the Diaspora Wilderness is a sensitive and courageous exploration of the Goan Diaspora across centuries. Selma Carvalho' s clear eyed and unflinching account of the life of several generations in her own family and countless others, combines the personal with a firm grasp of the social, political, economic and religious dimensions.  the issues of caste, race and class in Goa and in the many societies in which Goans struggled to make a living.  This is a history that needed to be heard; the voice of an insider, writing with  elegance, poise and grace ."

This is evidently the fruit of painstaking research. Told in a writing style not just to be admired, but envied. More power to your pen, Ms Carvalho!
