Beatriz da Conceição de Ataíde Lobo e Faria
Conceio de Atade Lobo e Faria , which were published in the column for women in the Goan newspapers A Vida, O Heraldo and O Acadmico.

However, if, when educating a family, a woman educates a…
If Goa is your land, which are your stories? Narrating the Village, Narrating Home

The Process of Literary Creation Across Cultural Borders
The aim of this paper is to consider the process of literary creation as recreated by the Indian author Rohinton Mistry in his short story "Swimming lessons." The dislocation of the main character from India to Canada allows him to turn his memories into fictional material and cross cultural borders. Literature is thus turned into a space of reflection which allows him to makes sense of his own experience in the diaspora
