The Jews of Goa (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9789389755770)

The Jews of Goa brings together scholars and researchers to discuss the history and legacy of the Jews and New Christians (convesos), through texts and primary documents, missionary literature and records of the Inquisitorial trials from the Lisbon and Goan archives. The volume breaks new ground in examining the early and medieval history of the Jews, with a focus on the Portuguese period after Goa became a major power centre in India. The book breaks the silence that has surrounded the Jews and New Chritians and their descendants in Goa during the past few hundred years.
