Morton seeks to understand what it means to turn one's back deliberately on the promise of economic growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Giving up their positions in factories, at construction sites, and as domestic workers, these migrants travel thousands of miles back to villages without running water or dependable power. There, many take up subsistence farming. Some become activists with the MST, Brazil's militant movement of landless peasants. Bringing their stories vividly to life, Morton dives into the dreams and disputes at play in finding freedom in the shared rejection of growth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Duff Morton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226832929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226832920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Gregory Duff Morton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110831575295,"sku":"9780226832920","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b39a53a9-e974-4a84-937e-cbdb2c07ebfc.jpg?v=1725469905","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/return-from-the-world-gregory-duff-morton-9780226832920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
