The 19th century French socialist journalist Felix Pyat sent a letter to Benito Juarez that was later published as "Carta a Juarez y a Sus Amigos." It was originally written in French and translated into Spanish. The English translation has since been lost. UTEP has collaborated with the Universidad Autonoma de Ciudad Juarez to publish a trilingual version of that letter. Joining us on this program are Jane Evans of the UTEP Department of Languages and Linguistics, and writer Roberto Perezdiaz, a retired court interpreter, who both played a part in the trilingual translation.
