It tells how migratory patterns to the city are also the mark of return migration to a MST-influenced region where a conscious peasant lifestyle is chosen as an act of resistance and asserted with decisive forcefulness.” -- Enrique Mayer, emeritus, Yale University “Return from the World is firmly rooted in well-composed ethnography, with beautiful writing and bold argumentation. Through the lives and stories of working-class Brazilians, Morton provides a highly original and thoughtful analysis of the meanings of growth, which will make a very important contribution to Latin American anthropology and social theory.” -- Sean T. Mitchell, author of ""Constellations of Inequality: Space, Race, and Utopia in Brazil"" "“This book will become a landmark ethnography of contemporary Brazil as a compelling story of counterdevelopment.
