Arado torcido, by Itamar Vieira Junior (published in Spanish by Pepitas de Calabaza), is a book that is overwhelming due to the fierceness of its people. It portrays the struggle for the settlement of some peasants descended from slaves without permission to settle.
Through them, Vieira explores the harshness of almost contemporary slave labor and the dedication of the entire family to the estate of some millionaires. “Slavery left deep marks on our society and these marks are felt and divide us to this day”
