Born in South Africa, John Mateer has for the past two decades been documenting the world seen from the Indian Ocean edge of Australia, travelling frequently to Asia, Europe and elsewhere. \u003cem\u003eUnbelievers or 'The Moor'\u003c\/em\u003e, like his previous surveys of the vestiges of the Portuguese Empire in \u003cem\u003eSouthern Barbarians\u003c\/em\u003e and of his memories of South Africa in \u003cem\u003eEx-White\u003c\/em\u003e - described by novelist J.M. Coetzee as \"rolling back the tide of forgetting\" - recovers aspects of the hidden past that haunt our present. In \u003cem\u003eUnbelievers\u003c\/em\u003e, Mateer seeks out evidence of the importance of the Islamic and Arabic history in places as diverse as Dubai, Seville, Cairo and the Portuguese village of Monsanto. He is not only interested in the past but in the deep present, its poetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Mateer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848612818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848612815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"John Mateer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437112340735,"sku":"9781848612815","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b8b0773-444d-49aa-adf1-d32f7c75ed1a.jpg?v=1777159945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unbelievers-or-the-moor-john-mateer-9781848612815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
