{"product_id":"at-home-in-the-street-tobias-hecht-9780521598699","title":"At Home in the Street: Street Children of Northeast Brazil","description":"Through innovative fieldwork and ethnographic writing, Hecht lays bare the received truths about the lives of Brazilian street children. This book changes the terms of the debate, asking not why there are so many homeless children in Brazil but why - given the oppressive alternative of home life in the shantytowns - there are in fact so few. Speaking in recorded sessions that participants called \"radio workshops,\" street children asked one another questions that even the most experienced researchers would be unlikely to pose. At the center of this study are children who play, steal, sleep, dance, and die in the streets of a Brazilian city. But all around them figure activists, politicians, researchers, \"home\" children, and a global crisis of childhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tobias Hecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521598699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521598699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/1998","brand":"Tobias Hecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119820402943,"sku":"9780521598699","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d596539-4229-4bb1-9d8a-bcc97a3fbbc2.jpg?v=1687411104","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/at-home-in-the-street-tobias-hecht-9780521598699","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
