In addition to the social and physical threats that those with albinism face from other Tanzanians, they must also confront the strong possibility of skin cancer--a disease for which effective treatment options can be found in the West, but which in Africa tends to reduce life expectancy for those with albinism to under thirty years. Bearing witness to the efforts of a group of Spanish aid workers to promote health and education in Tanzania, \u003ci\u003eAlbino \u003c\/i\u003ehighlights their work on programs to improve patient treatment and training for local doctors. In these subtle, complex, and ultimately optimistic images, Palacios shows the moments of struggle, but also joy, that mark the lives of the residents of the shelter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Palacios\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 849442341X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788494423413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tenov Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 12.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Ana Palacios","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49083364606207,"sku":"9788494423413","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/albino-ana-palacios-9788494423413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
