Why does the Western world look to migrant laborers to perform the mostmenial tasks? What compels people to leave their homes and accept thishumiliating situation? In <em>A Seventh Man</em>, John Berger and Jean Mohr cometo grips with what it is to be a migrant worker—the material circumstancesand the inner experience—and, in doing so, reveal how the migrant is notso much on the margins of modern life, but absolutely central to it. Firstpublished in 1975, this finely wrought exploration remains as urgent as ever,presenting a mode of living that pervades the countries of the West and yetis excluded from much of its culture.
