{"product_id":"9781804270851","title":"What Is Mine - Jose Henrique Bortoluci","description":"In�What Is Mine, sociologist Jos� Henrique Bortoluci uses interviews with his father, Didi, to retrace the recent history of Brazil and of his family. From the mid-1960s to the mid-2010s, Didi's work as a truck driver took him away from home for long stretches at a time as he crisscrossed the country and participated in huge infrastructure projects�including�the Trans-Amazonian Highway, a scheme spearheaded by the military dictatorship of the time, undertaken through�brutal deforestation. An observer of history, Didi also recounts the toll his work has taken on his health, from a heart attack in middle age to the cancer that defines his retirement.�Bortoluci weaves the history of a nation with that of a man, uncovering parallels between cancer and capitalism - both sustained by expansion, both embodiments of `the gospel of growth at any cost' -�and traces the distance that class has placed between him and his father.�Influenced by authors such as Annie Ernaux and Svetlana Alexievich,�What Is Mine�is a moving, thought-provoking and brilliantly constructed examination of the scars we carry, as people and as countries.","brand":"Jose Henrique Bortoluci","offers":[{"title":"160 pages \/ 02\/05\/2024 \/ Memoirs","offer_id":57564079227255,"sku":"9781804270851","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781804270851.jpg?v=1792227923","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781804270851","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
