Castaway Mountain: Love and Loss Among the Wastepickers of Mumbai

Más información sobre el libro

"All of Mumbai's possessions and memories come to die at the Deonar garbage mountain. Towering at the outskirts of the city, the mountain is covered in a faint mist, smog, or smoke from trash fires and flanked by a creek that runs out the Arabian Sea. Over time, as wealth brought Bollywood knockoffs, fast food, and plastics to Mumbaikars, a small, forgotten community of migrants and ragpickers came to live at the mountain's edge, making a living by reusing, recycling, and reselling."-- Provided by publisher
