What compels people to leave their homes and accept this humiliating situation? In \u003ci\u003eA Seventh Man\u003c\/i\u003e, John Berger and Jean Mohr come to grips with what it is to be a migrant worker--the material circumstances and the inner experience--and, in doing so, reveal how the migrant is not so much on the margins of modern life, but absolutely central to it. First published in 1975, this finely wrought exploration remains as urgent as ever, presenting a mode of living that pervades the countries of the West and yet is excluded from much of its culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStoryteller, novelist, essayist, screenwriter, dramatist and critic, \u003cb\u003eJohn Berger\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the most internationally influential writers of the last fifty years.
