brossura Una coinvolgente ricerca antropologica nella Rio de Janeiro olimpica, che riaccende i riflettori sulla realtà contrastata delle favelas brasiliane, in una mescolanza tra ingiustizie profonde ed esperienze diffuse di resistenza e immaginazione di futuri nuovi, più equi e plurali. Lo sguardo etnografico esplora la relazione tra le favelas e quella parte di città che viene definita "asfalto", in un percorso che spazia dalla violenza della polizia alle radici storiche della disuguaglianza urbana, dal poverty tourism al razzismo, offrendo a chi legge la fotografia di una realtà complessa, dove tante sono le lotte di chi vuole conquistare il diritto di far parte, a tutti gli effetti, della città.

Song kaiping, one of these local photographers, is the photographer of this picture book. He is the very essence of the Three Gorges man. He used to be a teacher, a movie man, a painter, a government official as well as a general manager in a company. He has dedicated all his spare time to the Three Gorges and his photography career.

(Vorwort) // The Yangtze Three Gorges extends from White King Town in Fengjie County, Chongqing City to Nanjingguan Pass in Yichang City, consisting of Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge and Xiling Gorge, with a full length of 192 km. It gets the essence of the scenery on the Yangtze River. As a unique landscape of China, it has been displaying its special charm for thousands of years. Inside the gorge region, the peaks tower into the sky, the steep cliffs face one another, and the jagged rocks are of grotesque shapes. The Qutang Gorge is magnificent, the Wu Gorge is elegant, and the Xiling Gorge is perilous. The unique climate of the gorge region produces rare scenes of different weather. The rain and clouds of Mt. Wushan are very changeable and colorful. In other words, the change is unpredictable just as it is described in an ancient poem: "Having been to a vast sea, one will never think much of the water in a river, and one will find no clouds attractive comparing them with those of the Wushan Mountain ...
