Representaion To Books The Rag Doll Plagues

The time-line is cyclical and eternal, as a doctor and his descendants are condemned to enter into an ever-consuming battle with a mysterious plague in three separate moments in history: colonial Mexico, contemporary California, and the next century in a newly emerged country. Power relationships and the social fabric of three settings are intricately detailed by Morales in his fashioning of a history which at the same time is seen through lenses of the magic and supernatural. The magical realists of Latin America have their Chicano inheritor and his name is Alejandro Morales.

Evaluate Regarding Books The Rag Doll Plagues

I wrote my MA thesis on this book. It's good Chicano quasi-sci fi, and some gore.

I spent two years trying to remember the name of this book so I could read it again! It has been so long since I read it, but I do remember I loved this book. Gonna re-read it now that I've got my hands on it!

Ohh, I don't even know where to start. I, in fact, did not mind the style this book was written in. It was a little wonky at times, but none that put me off. The context and premise of the book was enticing enough to keep me going. That or well the fact that I only had one morning to read this book before my class started. I'm giving this book 4 stars, because I honestly enjoyed it. Besides all the other Chican@ scifi books that I had to read for my class, this one along with Lunar Braceros, had

Students across our nation are taught about the dark history of the Spanish conquest and the colonization of Mexico. The Rag Doll Plagues by Alejandro Morales describes in great detail the horrific plague that killed thousands of people in Mexico during the seventeenth century. The attitude of the main character Gregorio Revueltas is transformed as he spends more time with the people whos bodies are being consumed by the horrific side effects of the deadly plague overtaking the city.

This story was really interesting and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it yet; my rating is subject to change once we discuss it more in-depth in class. However, Book 2 really stood out to me. I absolutely loved the poeticism of the writing in that chunk and the content/storyline. Book 3 was the least interesting to me, though, so it kind of went downhill. Unfortunate. Overall, not bad. It was super easy to read, and I flew through it. I'm curious to see how my professor and peers are going

This is an interesting book. The writing isn't the best, but it is still pretty good. I liked the idea of telling the story in the past, present and future. It may not be for everyone, but I like books like these, I feel it deserves more attention than it has been given.
