The geography of the skin

"Evaristo de Miranda's "The Geography of the Skin" is one of the most important publications of the century, in Brazil or anywhere else." - Alberto Mussa With absolute mastery of the art of narrative, as well as a profound, penetrating perspective on human circumstances, Evaristo de Miranda writes brilliantly about his experience in the interior of Niger between 1976 and 1979, specifically in the Sahel, a transition zone between savanna and desert, where he was to conduct research on ecological and agricultural imbalances. Over the years, the author observed the aridity of the landscape and the poverty of the people, which contrasted with the exuberance of subjective experiences. "The Geography of the Skin" reconstructs this exceptional experience.
