PERUVIANS IN IRAQ:
ARTS & LITERATURE:
  • REVIEW: 'The Bad Girl' by Mario Vargas Llosa (New York Sun, Chloe Schama) "a joyful romp through a torturous relationship. ... His characters — from Fukuda, the evil Japanese gangster, to Mrs. Stubard, the English guardian angel — are almost Dickensian in their dimensions, unabashed stereotypes of their native lands. The love affair is painful, perverse, and perpetual, relying entirely on unlikely coincidences."
  • Virginia Quarterly Review's special issue on South America; online they present an interactive map of the continent with links to the full content of the issue and six online exclusives—plus videos, slideshows, author readings, and more.
  • Daniel Alarcón In Virginia Tonight (Virginia Quarterly Review Event) Charlottesville
  • 'Vallejo Ignites Poet's 'Fuse' (UConn Daily Campus, Joanna Arpie) Clayton Eshleman, the editor/translator reading from his 'César Vallejo, The Complete Poetry: A Bilingual Edition'
  • 'The Challenge Of Cultural Diversity In Contemporary Peru' (Embassy, Toronto) Today at noon at University of Toronto; Claudia Balarin Benavides from the National University of San Marcos, Lima, will discuss "Andean Crafts and the Challenge of Cultural Diversity in Contemporary Peru."
  • 'Fourth-Grade Students Performed an Afr0-Peruvian Dance in Arkansas' (Northwest Arkansas Times, Brett Bennett)
CENSUS 2007:
FUJIMORI FILE:
  • 'Peruvian Fugitive Loses Extradition Fight' (Legal Times blog, Brendan Smith) "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled yesterday that Oscar Eliseo Medelius-Rodriguez can be extradited to Peru to face charges stemming from his alleged involvement in a massive election fraud scheme. He allegedly forged the signatures and fingerprints of voters to register a political party that supported the re-election of Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori during the 2000 presidential campaign. ... Now being held in a federal prison, Medelius-Rodriguez was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service last year in Wilmington, N.C., after being tracked in a fugitive investigation across the East Coast."
  • 'Witness Protection Against Fujimori Requested' (Prensa Latina, Cuba) re: Barrios Altos and La Cantuta; "The lawyer of relatives of the victims of two slaughters under the government of Alberto Fujimori asked for protection for the witnesses who would state against him. Defender Gloria Cano demanded strong security for the witnesses in the most important trial against Fujimori that will start on November 26." ALSO: "Fujimori's son, Kenji, repeatedly calls to a 'war' against the government and the former president's accusers, to achieve his freedom. The president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Francisco Tavara, noticed that the attitude of Keny Fujimori should be adjusted to the legal classification, and it rejected any form of violence."
FREE TRADE?
  • EDITORIAL: 'Let's Make Deal To Guard Free Trade' (Indianapolis Star, Indiana) "
    So why is free trade with Peru -- the South American nation, not the north-central Indiana city -- so important to Hoosiers? It's about creating and retaining jobs. ...The Peru agreement is good for Indiana. Even more important, congressional approval of the pact would help stem the rise of protectionism, a trend that if unchecked could dramatically undermine the nation's economy ."
  • EDITORIAL: 'Trade Agreements With The Americas Should Not Be Put Off Until 2009' (Sun-Sentinel, Florida) "The ugly rancor and vitriol attached to the U.S. immigration debate certainly hasn't helped America win friends in the Americas, either."
  • 'Strong Youth Turnout For Obama' (Wisconsin State Journal, Matt DeFour) "Some activist groups, such as the Wisconsin Fair Trade Council, distributed flyers outside the event challenging Obama's stance on a free trade agreement with Peru and statements he has made about the war in Iraq."
