{"product_id":"fishermans-blues-a-west-african-community-at-sea","title":"Fisherman's Blues: A West African Community at Sea","description":"NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR AND PASTE MAGAZINE\n\nAn intimate account of life in a West African fishing village, tugged by currents ancient and modern, and dependent on an ocean that is being radically transformed.\n\nThe sea is broken, fishermen say. The sea is empty. The genii have taken the fish elsewhere.\n\nFor centuries, fishermen have launched their pirogues from the Senegalese port of Joal, where the fish used to be so plentiful a man could dip his hand into the grey-green ocean and pull one out as big as his thigh. But in an Atlantic decimated by overfishing and climate change, the fish are harder and harder to find.\n\nHere, Badkhen discovers, all boundaries are permeable--between land and sea, between myth and truth, even between storyteller and story. Fisherman's Blues immerses us in a community navigating a time of unprecedented environmental, economic, and cultural upheaval with resilience, ingenuity, and wonder.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1594634874\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1594634874.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Badkhen, Anna\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
