Overview
Obra maestra de la narrativa latinoamericana, basada en el levantamiento de los chamulas entre 1867 y 1870 en San Cristóbal, Chiapas, donde se manifestó la figura de un Cristo indígena.
Oficio de tinieblas, Rosario Castellanos se sumerge en la historia y sus protagonistas para buscar entender las circunstancias que llevaron a un pueblo a un desgarrador acontecimiento y lo recrea en un México cercano: el de la reforma agraria durante el gobierno de Lázaro Cárdenas.
Una extraordinaria narración que retrata en toda su crudeza la opresión del mundo indígena, que apenas consigue sobrevivir a la pobreza mientras enfrenta el menosprecio y despojo de sus tierras por parte de los blancos ladinos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A masterpiece of Latin American narrative, based on the Chamula uprising between 1867 and 1870 in San Cristóbal, Chiapas, where the figure of an indigenous Christ emerged.
Oficio de tinieblas, Rosario Castellanos delves into history and its protagonists to understand the circumstances that led a people to a harrowing event, recreating it in a Mexico closer in time: that of agrarian reform during the government of Lázaro Cárdenas.
An extraordinary narrative that portrays with stark realism the oppression of the indigenous world, barely surviving poverty while facing contempt and dispossession of their lands by the Ladino whites.
