Description
Discover the gripping narrative of 'Masters of the Lost Land', an urgent tale set deep in the Amazon rainforest where powerful forces collide. This compelling book (ISBN: 9781838951481) reveals the dark saga of land baron Joselio de Barros, infamous for his ruthless control over the region. With his violent past and authoritarian grip, Joselio has become a symbol of corruption, having seized extensive public land and silenced dissent through intimidation and violence. The story unfolds through the eyes of Dezinho, a brave leader of a farm workers' union, who valiantly fights against rampant land grabs, environmental destruction, and egregious human rights abuses. When Dezinho is assassinated, a wave of fear grips the community—will justice prevail or will history repeat itself? Enter his widow, Dona Joelma, a fierce advocate determined to shine a light on the injustices plaguing the Amazon and rally public support for her late husband's cause. Against the backdrop of Bolsonaro's controversial environmental policies and the Amazon's vital role in the global climate crisis, 'Masters of the Lost Land' serves as both a heart-wrenching biography and a rallying cry for environmental activism.
