{"product_id":"permanent-error-9783791345208","title":"Permanent Error","description":"The most recent publication from the award-winning photographer Pieter Hugo reveals the devastating consequences of toxic waste on one community in Africa. In his previous well-received volumes of photographs, Hugo offers unflinching yet striking portraits of humans, animals, societies, and landscapes that shock and disturb, but also demand our attention. In Permanent Error, he documents a garbage dump in Ghana that has become the repository for discarded computers from around the world. These haunting images document the true cost of a misguided policy-the shipping of millions of tons of obsolete computers to developing countries. The computers are burned to extract valuable metals, effectively turning the site into a toxic wasteland that contaminates air, soil, and groundwater for miles around. These amazing portraits tell a story of a marginal community overwhelmed by poverty, but where human strength and resilience shine through the inhuman conditions Hugo lays bare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Prestel Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783791345208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.62h x 9.73w x 0.67d","brand":"Pieter Hugo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075585278133,"sku":"9783791345208","price":42.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_69ba2b5a-cf0b-464a-9df9-ca5890a56622.jpg?v=1691469273","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/permanent-error-9783791345208","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
