Tradition, Continuity & Change Goan Society in Transitions

Tradition, Continuity & Change Goan Society in Transitions is edited by Nina Caldeira. Goa has transited from tradition to colonial modernity and from colonial modernity to post coloniality. The change has led to a dynamic coexistence between tradition and modernity. The book attempts to chronicle various aspects of the palimpsest of Goan cultural identity. It offers a critique of tradition, continuity and change through Goa’s feasts and festivals, dances, monuments and architecture, cartoons and public and private lives. The book is a passionate attempt at rooting the present in the past with a vision to see the continuity but more ardently, with a hope that modernity would never erase tradition.
