Caught in the middle, many puesteros move between embracing change and resisting it. Their interweaving stories form an intimate, complex portrait of a way of life on the brink of disappearing, and invites the viewer to pause within a world moving too quickly to keep up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book also includes a poem by Iván Rojel Figueroa and an essay by Alberto Harambour, Associate Professor at the Universidad Austral de Chile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gost Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805980353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116","brand":"Pie Aerts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53459109839029,"sku":"9781805980353","price":63.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781805980353.jpg?v=1791297728","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/coiron-9781805980353","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
