Annotated translation of selected chapters from: Joseph Zárate, Guerras del interior
Abstract
The diploma thesis examines contemporary Latin American reportage prose and its defining characteristics. The theoretical section situates this genre within the broader context of Latin American literature and introduces its subgenres and key figures. The practical part presents a translation of two chapters from Guerras del interior by the Peruvian writer Joseph Zárate, a book that explores the conflicts between the extractive industries and Indigenous communities in Peru. The accompanying commentary provides an analysis of the source text and identifies the main translation challenges encountered during the translation process.
