Waiting for Rain: The Politics and Poetry of Drought in Northeast Brazil,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When droughts hit northeastern Brazil, thousands of rural workers are forced to abandon their homes for the cities in search of work. The double impact of drought and corruptionwith politicians taking advantage of drought to buy votes and pilfer government accountscontributes to an endless cycle of human suffering.In order to understand the impact of drought and the phenomenon of drought politics, Nicholas Gabriel Arons goes beyond traditional socialscience scholarship to sources such as novels, poetry, popular art, and oral history. For many people in the region, these artistic renditions of life are, ironically, a better reflection of reality than political rhetoric, government archives, and newspaper accountseven though they are infused with myth or hyperbole.Drawing on interviews with artists and poets and on his own experiences in the Brazilian Northeast, Arons has written a poignant account of how drought has impacted the regions culture. He intertwines ecological, social, and political issues with the words of some of Brazils most prominent authors and folk poets to show how themes surrounding droughthunger, migration, endurance, nostalgia for the landhave become deeply embedded in Nordeste identity. Through this tapestry of sources, Arons shows that what is often thought of as a natural phenomenon is actually the result of centuries of social inequality, political corruption, and unsustainable land use.Waiting for Rain dramatically depicts a region still suffering from austere social and political realities, where droughteven during rainy seasonsis ubiquitous in the hearts and minds of its residents. A book of hope and resistance, myth and reality, and suffering and salvation, it is also a personal narrative of selfdiscovery, tracing a young mans struggle to understand how human tragedy on a grand scale can exist alongside natural beauty.
