{"product_id":"sicilian-lives-9780394749389","title":"Sicilian Lives","description":"When Danilo Docli, peace worker, organizer, educator, first arrived in 1952 in Trappeto, a village of peasants and fishermen in western Sicily, there were no streets, just mud and dust, not a single drugstore, not even a sewer. (In fact, the local dialect didn't even have a word for sewer.) Like other Sicilians, the villagers, seen by many Italians as \"bandits,\" \"dirt-eaters,\" and \"savages,\" had, in effect, been mute for centuries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDolci's years of work broke this silence. The result is \u003ci\u003eSicilian Lives\u003c\/i\u003e, a book which reveals the intimate experiences and perceptions of a wide range of Sicilians, rural and urban, through voices that are sometimes frightening, but always fascinating and unexpected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDanilo Dolci has collected a rich panorama of voices--the eloquent testimony of Sicilians who, at last, are speaking out to penetrate the most profound dilemmas of an impoverished land. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith a foreword by John Berger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantheon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780394749389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.75d","brand":"Danilo Dolci","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636990177436,"sku":"9780394749389","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5a43e528-6894-455d-9928-65ec51d97b46.jpg?v=1603843565","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sicilian-lives-9780394749389","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
