The outspoken brunette from New York was 26 years old when she was delivered a life sentence from Peru’s military tribunal. In June of 2010, I was also 26, reeling from my first year of graduate school. It was in the summer of 2010, in the thralls of metropolitan Lima, that I began to pursue nebulous interests that would eventually form this thesis.
