Beschreibung

"In Return from the World, anthropologist Gregory Duff Morton traces the migrations of landless Brazilian peasants who choose to leave cities and the opportunities they offer to return to their home villages. Exploring this phenomenon in cities such as Belo Horizonte and the surrounding villages of Rio Branco and Maracujâa, Morton seeks to understand what it means to deliberately turn one's back on the promise of economic growth. Leaving cities and giving up their positions in factories, construction sites, and as domestic workers, rural migrants travel hundreds of miles back to villages without running water or dependable power. There, they often take up farming, engaging in subsistence agriculture or laboring as hired hands in nearby plantations. Bringing their stories vividly to life, Morton dives into the dreams and disputes at play in finding freedom in the shared rejection of accumulation"--
