Poskem

About Poskem

Goans are presently experiencing the last generation of Poskimâ€" young children taken in by wealthy families and retained most often as servants. In a narrative that spans Portuguese Goa to post the liberation of Indiaâ€TMs golden state, Poskem: Goans in the Shadows takes the reader to locales from Bombay to Lyon, Pune to Paris and into the world of the Poskim people and Goan recipes. Through happiness and hope, despair and delusion, Rodricks writes of an unspoken, unheard of and shamefully silenced world of the last generation of a people that would soon be forgotten but for this book preserving their story for posterity.
