Julio Arbizu is a lawyer, writer and human rights advocate. This past year he has published
Negro, his first collection of short stories, in which he explores, through the lens of personal memory, racism, identity, family, love, defeat and dignity, weaving a dialogue between intimate experiences and Peru’s collective memory. Back in Tacna, he will speak with Fernando Rondinel about the national climate, the country’s wounds and contradictions, and the dream of a fairer Peru, where the dignity and rights of all are a promise fulfilled rather than an unmet aspiration. In conversation with
Fernando Rondinel Dias.
