How was it related to projects for the conversion of Goan colonial subjects to Catholicism? And how did these contribute to the making of Goan identity? In this closely argued work, Angela Barreto Xavier asks these questions by reading the relevant secular and missionary archives and texts. She shows how the twinned drives towards conversion and colonisation in Portuguese India resulted in various outcomes, ranging from negotiation to passive resistance to moments of extreme violence. She reveals that, in the process, Portuguese Goa emerged as a space with a specific identity resulting from these contestations and interactions. The Goan elites were also able to internalise this complex body of cultural resources to further their interests and narrate their own myths and histories.  aReform in the Kingdom960177  aNew Temples960178  aChristianisation960179  aMartyrs of Cuncolim960180  aXAVIER (Angela Barreto)960181  2ddccBK  c224907d224907  00102ddc40708HISaALbALd2022-10-21eBiblios Book Point, Surathkal, Mangalore-575014g876.00l1o282.54 XAVRp076155r2023-01-20 00:00:00s2023-01-19v1095.00w2022-10-22yBK
