Michelle Mendonça Bambawale is an environmental activist, educator,
photographer and writer. In 2023, her book Becoming Goan: A Contemporary Coming
Home Story was published by Penguin Random House, India. In part memoir and in
part a cry from the heart for the preservation of Goa’s cultural and
topographical landscape, the book touched a deep chord with readers across the
world making it a runaway success. Here, in conversation with Selma Carvalho,
Michelle elaborates on issues close to her heart.
"Each of us interprets and relates to our identity in a different way. I know
there are many who feel Goan - this special connection to the land and culture.
They feel it no matter where they live or how many generations ago their family
left Goa. For me, to become Goan, I knew it went beyond my required ancestral
history. I needed to create criteria to understand Goan identity. It is complex
and diverse."
