When lives are dominated by hunger, what becomes of love? When assaulted by daily acts of violence and untimely death, what happens to trust? Set in the lands of Northeast Brazil, this is an account of the everyday experience of scarcity, sickness and death that centres on the lives of the women and children of a hillside "favela". Bringing her readers to the impoverished slopes above the modern plantation town of Bom Jesus de Mata, where she has worked on and off for 25 years, the author follows three generations of shantytown women as they struggle to survive through hard work, cunning and triage. It is a story of class relations told at the most basic level of bodies, emotions, desires and needs. Most disturbing - and controversial - is her finding that mother love, as conventionally understood, is something of a bourgeois myth, a luxury for those who can reasonably expect, as these women cannot, that their infants will live. The author also wrote "Saints, Scholars and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland".

圖書標籤: 人類學 民族誌 Anthropology Ethnography 社會學 英文原版 社會-暗麵 suffering
social suffering and embodied lives,maternal practice and moral thinking,讀來還是超有啓發性。心目中的理想民族誌範本。
評分餓著肚子看到一半,放下書麻溜地去做飯…關於飢餓那部分看得十分慚愧,所謂的民族誌巔峰就是應該有這樣實在的力量吧
評分課上讀瞭節選,NSH的fieldwork都令人敬佩
