Description
Summary:Gender violence has been addressed in various literary works, but in recent years it has occupied a central place in Latin American literature. This work will focus on an analysis of The Blood of the Dawn —originally published in Spanish as La sangre de la aurora (2013) winner of the Las Américas Prize— by Claudia Salazar Jiménez (Lima, 1976). Violence against women during the armed conflicto lies at the core of this novel. This article offers a gender perspective, and is based on the ideas of Rita Segato and Jean Franco, to analyze how violence against women has been fictionalized in the context of the Peruvian armed conlict.
