INTERVIEW OF LOUISE B POPKIN, TRANSLATOR OF BENEDETTI'S NEW BOOK, "WITNESS" (WHITE PINE PRESS, 2012)

I finally did this interview thing for Rafa Alvarado's World Wide Word Radio Network. Give it a whirl and listen to my chocolatey radio voice and Louise's awesohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifme answers, especially her beliefs against using Latinate cognates to translate Southern Cone Castellano which has its own way of saying things.

Porque are you afraid de Spanglish?

"Nothing seems to inflame advocates of our nation's Anglo-Saxon traditions so much as this issue of language. Since a people's culture--it's music, literature, and customs--is invevitably expressed through its language, the growth of 'foreign' language use somehow implied the growth of foreign cultures. Since 1990, for instance, more than 32 million American spoke English as a second language, a phenomenal one-third increase over 1980, and for more than half of those 32 million, Spanish was the primary tongue"

--From "Harvest of Empire" by Juan Gonzalez, 2000, pg xiii
