A Seventh Man

A Seventh Man / Un séptimo hombre

No ficción , 1975

Verso

Inmigración No ficción

¿Por qué el mundo occidental recurre a los trabajadores inmigrantes para realizar las tareas más serviles? ¿Qué impulsa a la gente a abandonar sus hogares y aceptar esta indigna situación? En A Seventh Man, John Berger y Jean Mohr se enfrentan a lo que significa ser un trabajador inmigrante -las circunstancias materiales y la experiencia interior- y, al hacerlo, revelan cómo el inmigrante no está tan al margen de la vida moderna, sino que ocupa un lugar absolutamente central en ella. Publicada por primera vez en 1975, esta obra de fina factura sigue siendo tan actual como siempre, al presentar un modo de vida que impregna los países occidentales y que, sin embargo, está excluido de gran parte de su cultura.

"John Berger writes about what is important, not just interesting—in contemporary English letters, he seems to be peerless; not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a wonderful artist and thinker." Susan Sontag

"This book is ever more timely." Geoff Dyer

"His most remarkable book." Economist
