{"product_id":"keep-the-bones-alive-graham-denyer-willis-9780520388512","title":"Keep the Bones Alive: Missing People and the Search for Life in Brazil","description":"Every year at least 20,000 people go missing in S縊 Paulo, Brazil. Many will be found, sometimes in mundane mass graves, but thousands will not.\u003ci\u003e Keep the Bones Alive \u003c\/i\u003eexplores this phenomenon and why there is little concern for those who vanish. Ethnographer Graham Denyer Willis works beside family members, state workers, and gravediggers to examine the rationalization behind why bodies are missing in space--from cemeteries, the criminal coroner's office, prisons, and elsewhere. By accompanying the bereaved as they confront an indifferent state and a suspicious society and search for loved ones against all odds, this gripping book reveals where missing bodies go and the reasons why people can disappear without being pursued. Recognizing that disappearance has long been central to Brazil's everyday political order, this humanistic account of the silences surrounding disappearance shows why a demand for a politics of life is needed now more than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Denyer Willis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520388518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520388512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Graham Denyer Willis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056236589311,"sku":"9780520388512","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc863ef6-22ba-415c-b4b5-cf83051dbc03.jpg?v=1685040246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/keep-the-bones-alive-graham-denyer-willis-9780520388512","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
