The Arts
OCCUPIED AMAZONIA
by João Farkas
Description
The more than two hundred photographs featured in the book Occupied Amazonia stem from the concise and keen eye of the photographer João Farkas, who traveled deep into the Amazon region between the 1980s and 1990s to expose the clichés about the Brazilian North rooted in popular imagination. A space of conflicts and convergences, the Amazon region is revealed in multiple facets, ranging from prospectors to natives, missionaries, land-grabbers and migrants. With texts by Paulo Herkenhoff, Ricardo Lessa, Lilia Moritz Schwarcz and Farkas himself, the book is a challenging invitation for those willing to rediscover and explore new old worlds.
