Here below please find a brief extract from a review via Goan author ;the London based Selma Carvalho , which will feature on a Goan newspaper (print and online ) on dates co-inciding with it's release. Please try to make it for the launch if you possibly can "Any writing on East Africa is of immense interest, for it is in East Africa, that the Goan first turned into an explorer and budding anthropologist with a curious interest in unfamiliar people. It comes as no surprise, that when that flamboyant British explorer Sir Richard Burton set out in 1857, with Captain Hanning Speke, to discover the source of the Nile in Africa, he had with him two Goan cooks, Valentino Rodrigues and Caetano Andrade, who proved to be extremely valuable and hardy. Not only did Valentino often assume a leadership role during the expedition having learnt in no time a smattering of Swahili, but he had also learnt to use the chronometer and thermometer. Mervyn Maciel’s knowledge of Africa is almost encyclopaedic and his own anthropological lens is obvious throughout the book, as in this paragraph: ‘Very much on the same pattern as Lodwar, and because our lives lacked the variety of a safari, the Goan staff was encouraged to go out into the interior of the district to relax. We sometimes spent times picnicking at Lake Paradise, home to herds of elephant and buffalo, and also further afield to Loiyangalani on the lakeshore where we had to cross the Chalbi desert. I enjoyed these trips immensely as it gave me an opportunity to explore the outdoors, meet local chiefs and tribesmen and also engage in some sandgrouse shooting at the oasis of North Horr. The El Molo tribe live along the shores of the lake at Loiyangalani and are reputed to be very poor, living on the lake’s Nile perch and tilapia, and government handouts.’ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1441626489424198&ref=ts&fref=ts Come see us there https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=272262389606965.. <https://www.facebook.com/pages/GLAM-Goa-Literature-Arts-Music-Festival/272262389606965> *GLAM- Goa Literature Arts Music Festival <https://www.facebook.com/pages/GLAM-Goa-Literature-Arts-Music-Festival/272262389606965>* Promoting GOAN Global -cultural heritage across the 'confluence' of Luso-'GOA-na' -Indian -African waters , mother-spheres and diaspora/e Community: 82 like this.
