1   streamsong | Apr 6, 2018 |   ...y no se le trago la tierra empieza con el cuento de un "ano perdido." El narrador desconocido and otros migrantes Mexicanos dicen la historia de amor, pobreza, familia, homicidios, y la perdida de espirito and confianza. Sobre toda es el compasion para la raza. Ahora, necesita una traducción nueva con mas poder y incluyendo todas las palabras y frases.

You should give it a try, because I felt that it did a really, really outstanding job of representing the experiences of people who came to the United States decades ago, working and living in places that were difficult to adapt to due to linguistic, cultural, and social barriers. Read this, and read Rulfo's short stories again, and see if you agree with my admittedly distant memory of the connection between the two.

"I tell you, God could care less about the poor. Tell me, why must we live here like this? What have we done to deserve this? You're so good and yet you suffer so much," a young boy tells his mother in Tomás Rivera's classic novel about the migrant worker experience. Outside the chicken coop that is their home, his father wails in pain from the unbearable cramps brought on by sunstroke after working in the hot fields. The young boy can't understand his parents' faith in a god that would impose such horrible suffering, poverty and injustice on innocent people. ... Rivera's masterpiece recounts the experiences of a Mexican-American community through the eyes of a young boy. Forced to leave their home in search of work, the migrants are exploited by farmers, shopkeepers, even other Mexican Americans, and the boy must forge his identity in the face of exploitation, death and disease, constant moving and conflicts with school officials. Rivera hauntingly writes about alienation, love and betrayal, man and nature, death and resurrection and the search for community. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

...and the earth did not devour him Guided Read
1
This is both thought provoking and horrific. There are so many awful incidents in this very short book: violent tragic deaths of childre and adults; workers, including children packed into a van so tightly they had to stand up for a several day trip to more northern fields; the constant abuse and harassment that the migrant children endured in local schools.
This book is eye opening and saddening. I am distressed to learn that current migrant workers face many of the same conditions.
Recommended especially for those interested in social justice issues.
