Subjects include individuals affected by land disputes, abductions, state violence, and official misrecognition, alongside more obscure or accidental genealogical narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taryn Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55762636243329,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7613\/files\/cdr_680copy_8deb9a9f-a099-49e3-b246-a67937f63b90.jpg?v=1781093708","url":"https:\/\/www.clairederouenbooks.com\/products\/taryn-simon-a-living-man-declared-dead-and-other-chapters","provider":"Claire de Rouen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
