摘要：

This paper presents a historical perspective to comprehend the advent of Goan literature in English, highlighting some of its characteristics. Secondly, the dynamics of Goan literature in English is discussed as a literature of diaspora since it is intrinsically connected to routes of emigration by the Goan community. Then, one of the most acknowledged novels in contemporary Goan literature in English, Skin (2010), by Margaret Mascrenhas, is analysed. Finally, this paper addresses two novels by the Indian writer Amitav Gosh, who writes about communities of migrants and seamen in the Indian Ocean, among which the Goan community is represented.
