This conflict of cultures is captured by Indian photographer Prabuddha Dasgupta in \u003ci\u003eThe Edge of Faith.\u003c\/i\u003e The book's 70 striking photographs create an intimate portrait of the Catholic community in Goa rarely seen before--a portrait of people torn between their fidelity to a history of Portuguese faith and culture and their post-Independence Indian identity. In addition, acclaimed travel-writer William Dalrymple provides an accompanying text that explores both the history of Goa's Catholic past and its struggle to deal with its multi-cultural, multi-religious present. \u003ci\u003eThe Edge of Faith\u003c\/i\u003e captures Catholic Goa in a haunting, but beautiful impasse--caught in a time warp between comforting nostalgia and a doubt-ridden, insecure future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prabuddha Dasgupta, William Dalrymple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906497311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906497316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 9.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Prabuddha Dasgupta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46292970340607,"sku":"9781906497316","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72ac13ee-1b59-4265-a4c1-f8bce74a8a19.jpg?v=1730210705","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/edge-of-faith-prabuddha-dasgupta-9781906497316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
