I got to look at the Special Issue of Marg on Goa Vol. 64, No.2 - 2012 today in my college library. Titled Crossovers: Heritage and Fusion in Goa, it has been guest edited by Savia Viegas. This is the third edition on Goa, the first two being 'In Praise of Christian Art in Goa' ed by Mulk Raj Anand, Marg Vol 32, No 4, 1980 and 'Goa: An Encounter' ed by Saryu Doshi, Marg Vol 35, No. 3 1983.
Apart from the Introduction by Savia Viegas there are articles on literature by Maria Aurora Couto and Damodar Mauzo; music by Francisco Colaco; painting by Savia Viegas. There is also an article on F N Souza by Baiju Paithan; a photo essay on the photographs of Souza & Paul; an article on tiatr by Jose Lourenco; on dress by Wendell Rodricks; and on food by Fatima da Silva Gracias. I found most of the articles aimed at an audience which had no knowledge about Goa, and so were rather elementary in their approach. The paintings photographs and illustrations in this glossy volume are gorgeous though. The volume is priced at Rs 1250 Augusto. -- Augusto Pinto 40, Novo Portugal Moira, Bardez Goa, India E pinto...@gmail.com P 0832-2470336 M 9881126350j
