{"product_id":"available-light-john-howard-griffin-9780916727468","title":"Available Light: Exile in Mexico","description":"Culled from previously unpublished material, this collection of writing and photography by John Howard Griffin was taken from the period during which he was writing and revising what would be his most famous book, the bestselling \u003ci\u003eBlack Like Me\u003c\/i\u003e. Living in exile in Mexico at the time, along with his young family and aging parents, Griffin had been forced from his home town of Mansfield, Texas, by death threats from local white racists. Knowing that he would become a controversial public figure once he returned to the states, he kept an intimate journal of his ethical queries on racism and injustice--and to escape from his worries he also immersed himself in the culture of the Tarascan Indians of Michoacan. Accordingly, Robert Bonazzi's introduction contains substantial unpublished portions of the journals, and the main body of the book is made up of three essays by Griffin--one on photography and two about trips he made to photograph rural Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Howard Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0916727467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780916727468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wings Press (TX)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 8.65w x 0.33d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2008 pg. 127","brand":"John Howard Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48087047733503,"sku":"9780916727468","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a5f1b3ea-474e-443a-92f3-f211a429a0f1.jpg?v=1769098000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/available-light-john-howard-griffin-9780916727468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
