{"product_id":"9780935028164","title":"A Quiet Violence: View from a Bangladesh Village","description":"\u003cbr\u003eA quiet violence today stalks the villages and shanty towns of the Third World, the violence of needless hunger. In this book, two Bengali-seaking Americans take the reader to a Bangladesh village where they lived for nine months. There, the readers meets some of the world's poorest people - peasants, sharecroppers and landless labourers - and some of the not-so-poor people who profit from their misery. The villager's poverty is not fortuitous, a result of divine dispensation or individual failings of charachter. Rather, it is the outcome of a long history of exploitation, culminating in a social order which today benefits a few at the expense of many.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Food First \/ Institute For Food \u0026 Development Policy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47028658766064,"sku":"9780935028164","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780935028164_p0.jpg?v=1763872431","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780935028164","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
