Dr. Claudia Salazar visits UARK
Dr. Salazar hails from Lima, Peru and has published several anthologies and short pieces.
Her 2013 novel, La sangre de la aurora (originally in Animal de invierno, translated
for Deep Vellum as Blood of the Dawn) was awarded the prestigious Premio de las Americas
in 2014, establishing her as a new voice on issues surrounding the effects of armed
conflict on indigenous populations and women. She is also active in her local Spanish-speaking
community, recently organizing PERUFEST, the first Peruvian film fest in New York
City where she currently teaches.
Dr. Salazar will make two presentations on Friday, Feb 03:
