From the publisher:
In The Collector of Leftover Souls, award-winning journalist Eliane Brum chronicles the lives of everyday Brazilians. She visits the Amazon to understand the practice of indigenous midwives, stays in São Paulo’s favelas to witness the tragedy of young men dying due to guns and drugs, and wades through the mud to capture the boom and bust of modern-day gold rushers. Told in vibrant and idiomatic language, The Collector of Leftover Souls is a vital work of investigative journalism by an internationally acclaimed author.
