Through observations and notes on rural southern Italy, this reportage-like book looks at poverty and inequality in peasant communities in Puglia. It blends affection for the region with social criticism and offers a calm but forceful indictment of reality.

A book that looks at the lives of Puglia’s peasants from the space between history and lived reality.
