Definitely some challenging language but I understand that some of these racial terms defer in use/implication in South America. It’s always the mark of an intriguing first act (perhaps prologue here) of a historical book when they’re using confronting and even specifically personally racist language and I’m still willing to continue reading.

“But that pestilence so frequently idealised by nostalgia became an unbearable reality when the carriage began to lurch through the quagmire of the streets where buzzards fought over the slaughterhouse offal as it was swept along by the receding tide.” Stunning sentence.
