> Why does the Western world look to migrant labourers to perform the most menial tasks? What compels people to leave their homes and accept this humiliating situation? In A Seventh Man, 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 at its centre.

> The peasant imagines an unhandicapped life, a life in which he is not first forced to produce a surplus before feeding himself and his family, as a primal state of being which existed before the advent of #injustice. Food is man’s first need. Peasants work on the land to produce food to feed themselves. Yet they are forced to feed others first, often at the price of going hungry themselves.. they who can feed themselves are instead being forced to feed others..

Book Review: Ways of Seeing by John Berger

Rating: 4.4 / 5 Though not exclusively about cinema, Berger’s work fundamentally reshapes how images are interpreted. He dissects how visual culture encodes power, gender, class, and authority. The book’s core insight is that seeing is never neutral. Images are framed within systems of ownership and perspective. This has direct implications for film, advertising, and mass media.

These sentences got me binge reading Pig Earth, the rest of the "Peasant Trilogy" more Berger books: The peasant father's reaction to the son's gift of a tractor!!
> John Berger, that most wonderful writer, once wrote: “Never again will a single story be told as though it’s the only one.” There can never be a single story. There are only ways of seeing. So when I tell a story, I tell it not as an ideologue who wants to pit one absolutist ideology against another, but as a story-teller who wants to share her way of seeing.

The New Way of Seeing: In Anya Berger's Archives by Emily Foister

December 18, 2025 – "In an untitled fragment from the summer of 1974, after her separation from John, she begins: 'To live alone is, first and foremost, not to be seen. No interested eye observes you. You project no image. Unless it be to yourself.'”
