The story of a migrant worker in Europe - A book of images and words about the experience of Migrant Workers in Europe.
'This book concerns a dream / nightmare.' Is the opening line of this incredible piece put together by John Berger and Jean Mohr. This impassioned portrait of migrant life is more relevant today than ever as an incisive response to eruptions of anti-immigration rhetoric. Originally envisaged as a film-documentary-come-family-album, the book is arranged into three chapters depicting Departure, Work and Return. It's a powerful mix of facts, figures, poetry, abstract theory and photographs which open up the dehumanising experience of migration to reveal a stultifying lack of freedom at the heart of neo-liberal capitalism, which Berger bluntly re-coins "economic fascism".
Art critic, novelist, and artist John Berger brings humanity and a voice to those silenced in the political debate about who does and doesn’t belong.
