Resumen de The sasachakuy tiempo: The Representation of Intersectional Violence in Literature of the Peruvian Armed Conflict (1980-2000)
In Peruvian society a colonial foundation remains in which racism, classism, and patriarchal structures intersect to make historically marginalized communities more vulnerable to violence. Research shows that indigenous communities suffered the most devastating effects during the Peruvian Armed Conflict, known as the sasachakuy tiempo in Quechua or “difficult time,” a period in which they suffered dehumanizing violence. Through an intersectional analysis of novels that fictionalize this period, Julio Ortega's Adiós Ayacucho, Óscar Colchado Lucio's Rosa Cuchillo, and Claudia Salazar Jiménez's La sangre de la aurora, the article shows how violence and systems of oppression affect more intensely extremely marginalized groups.
