Book Announcement: Goan Migrant Motherhood in New Zealand

Ruth DeSouza's research on the experiences of Goan women becoming mothers in a new country has now been published. 'Walking upright here' is based on Ruth's Masters research and explores the dual transition of migration and motherhood from the perspective of Goan women living in New Zealand. Ruth is excited about the new book book because she feels that it is important to make the findings available to anyone who wants to know more about Goan culture and learn about the experiences of the Goan diaspora: "Living in New Zealand I often found it hard to get hold of other people's work and so I wanted to make sure that people with an interest in Goans all over the world could get a copy" The book is published by Muddy Creek Press and can be ordered online for US$24.95 plus postage from: www.lulu.com/content/230522.
