The book "Among the Bijagós, with the World's Poison" tells of the journey of poet and anthropologist Paulo Ramalho. The work stems from research conducted by Ramalho on class-based social systems.
The research explores what is described as "the difficult balance between tradition and change." The setting of the investigation is the Bijagós archipelago, in Guinea-Bissau.
The work combines the anthropological perspective with the author's poetic sensitivity, offering an account that intertwines ethnographic observation and literary reflection.
