Description
Black-and-white photographs of everyday people from Brazil's backlands accompany texts that reveal the harsh realities of their lives.
The villagers describe grinding poverty, abuse, and hopelessness, while also sharing their stories and struggles with Maria Thereza Alves.
This book gives a voice to those who have been silenced, shedding light on how the Brazilian state shapes the lives of its most vulnerable citizens.
