Migrations, Exils Et Reconfigurations Identitaires Dans Aaron D'yves Thériault Et L'espérance Macadam, De Gisèle Pineau

Utilisant à la fois la méthodologie des études littéraires et celle des études culturelles, le présent travail se propose de délimiter, dans les romans L'Espérance Macadam de l'Antillaise Gisèle Pineau et Aaron du Québécois Yves Thériault, la problématique de la migration et de l'exil ainsi que la conséquente rencontre des cultures à l'origine à la trans-culturalité, en mettant en évidence de nouvelles approches qui rompent avec les paradigmes ethnocentriques et en signalant de nouveaux pactes sociaux qui fondent une culture de la paix entre les hommes.

New source-material for the socio-economic history of the Hindus of Goa

The Mhamai brothers were the suppliers of daily commodities / stationery to the viceroys / governors of Goa. Since late 18th century their agency house worked in partnership with several other trading houses all over the west coast of India. They also served as brokers for the French East India company in Goa during the critical period of anglo-french wars. The Mhamais were also revenue farmers, particularly customs and tobacco tax farming. I had the privilege of taking their family archives to the Xavier Centre of Historical Research in 1979 and making the history of the family known worldwide.
