Honduras

13 Colors of the Honduran Resistance
by Melissa Cardoza

“Protests were poetry on the streets."

A fearless journalist working in a very dangerous part of the world, Melissa Cardoza reveals the dignity and determination of the women who came together to form a creative and powerful protest against an oppressive government. Capturing the emotions of their songs and tears, the text appears in Spanish with the English translation alongside. Translator Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle explains his decision to retain many Honduran colloquiallisms – Hondureñismos – in the English text because he did not want to lose the impact and rhythm of the Spanish, and because they often have no English equivalent.
