Amaranta Wright was a young writer living in Miami when Levi's hired her to travel through Latin America. Her brief was to befriend teenagers & report back with every aspect of their lives: their hopes, fears, dreams & aspirations. At first, she saw the job as a means to travel around a continent she loved. But as time passed, the more sinister & divisive aspects of what she was being asked to do became apparent, her attempts to understand the dispossessed of these countries constantly frustrated by the mechanics of corporate globalisation
- its unspoken aim to reduce individuals to bullet points.

This is a compellingly humane portrait of a continent in crisis
- riddled with paradox, complexity, beauty & brutality. It is a book about the arrogance with which we in the West refer to 'developing' continents, the developed world's overarching desire to turn people into consumers, & the often insidious methods employed to this end. It is about what happens when indigenous voices are silenced by corporate vision.

An evocative, startling & politically-incisive book.
