Andres and his family and everyone he knows is forced further and further into debt peonage with no hope of relief. He is a rational actor in an irrational economic structure filled with people who self-justify their cruelty and deviousness with appeals to reason and order. One striking aspect in the book is the effect of innumeracy and illiteracy and the way that both are used as weapons of class warfare meant to enslave. This book is heavy on exposition and stage-setting and light on plot. And the romance gets very saccharine and devotional (dependant?) very quickly. purchased at 2018 Another Carolina Anarchist Bookfair nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Carreta is the second of B. Traven's six Jungle Novels which together form an epic of the birth of the Mexican Revolution. The young Indian who is the hero of The Carreta is an ox-cart driver. More sophisticated than most of his companions who work in debt-slavery in the great mahogany plantations, Andres can read and hopes to go back to his wife. But he labors with no awareness of how really impossible this is. Pressing down on him is the plight of his father, who was also sold to the monteria. Andres believes he can never return to his wife until he repays his father's debt. Traven's purpose in the Jungle Novels is to describe the conditions of a people who are ripe for revolt, and to trace the beginnings of consciousness which result in the determination to revolt. In The Carreta he brings his remarkable narrative talents to bear on the coming of age of Andres and the oppressive world in which he finds he must make his way. "Traven is a very great writer ....
