A stranger in Goa

Abstract

In the scope of the Intercultural Studies curricular unit, we were asked to choose a free theme, or from a book or a film, which could be the object of an intercultural analysis, that is, which contained a confrontation with at least two cultures, thus allowing us to make a case study and put into practice the theoretical concepts learned. Therefore, I chose the book "A Stranger in Goa" by José Eduardo Agualusa, not because I knew the author or his work, but because I am fascinated by India. Since Goa was a former Portuguese colony, I felt interested in analysing the work in question.
