Wendell writes a book on almost forgotten plight of adopted maids of yore

18 Jul 2017 01:11 PM

A book titled Poskem, Goans in the Shadows was launched on Monday. The book is written by fashion designer Wendell Rodricks and published by Om Books International.



In a narrative that spans Portuguese Goa to post-Liberation Goa, Poskem: Goans in the Shadows takes the reader to locales from Bombay to Lyon, Pune to Paris and into the world of the Poskem and Goan recipes. 

Through happiness and hope, despair and delusion, Wendell writes of an unspoken, unheard of and shamefully silenced world of the last generation of a people.

If not for this book, all this could soon be forgotten.

The book was launched by writer cum fashion designer Wendell Rodricks in the presence of Actress Maria Goretti, Kimi Katkar, writer  Damodar Mauzo and others. The launch ceremony was held at Taj Vivanta in Panji.
