Graciela
Graciela chronicles the life of a Quechua-speaking Indigenous woman in the remote Andean highlands during the war in Peru that killed seventy thousand people and displaced hundreds of thousands more in the 1980s and 1990s. The book traces her early years as a young child living in an epicenter of violence to her contemporary life as a postwar survivor. Graciela Orihuela Rocha’s history embodies the horrors, injustices, promises, and challenges faced by countless individuals who endured and survived the war. Her story provides intimate insights into deep-seated divisions within Peruvian society that center around skin color, gender, language, and ties to the land. These fault lines have endured to the present day, fostering discontent and violence in Peru. Through Graciela’s story we not only learn of trauma and dehumanization but also resilience, strength, and perseverance. Graciela’s history provides insight into the systemic challenges of determining truth, implementing justice, and envisioning reconciliation in a country where calls for equality and justice remain unrealized for the most marginalized.
The Chankas and the Priest
How does society deal with a serial killer in its midst? What if the murderer is a Catholic priest living among native villagers in colonial Peru? In The Chankas and the Priest, Sabine Hyland chronicles the horrifying story of Father Juan Bautista de Albadán, a Spanish priest to the Chanka people of Pampachiri in Peru from 1601 to 1611. During his reign of terror over his Andean parish, Albadán was guilty of murder, sexual abuse, sadistic torture, and theft from his parishioners, amassing a personal fortune at their expense. For ten years, he escaped punishment for these crimes by deceiving and outwitting his superiors in the colonial government and church administration. Drawing on a rema...

The Chanka
In AD 1438 a battle took place outside the city of Cuzco that changed the course of South American history. The Chanka, a powerful ethnic group from the Andahuaylas region, had begun an aggressive program of expansion. Conquering a host of smaller polities, their army had advanced well inside the territory of their traditional rival, the Inca. In a series of unusual maneuvers, the Inca defeated the invading Chanka forces and became the most powerful people in the Andes. Many scholars believe that the defeat of the Chanka represents a defining moment in the history of South America as the Inca then continued to expand and establish the largest empire of the Americas. Despite its critical posi...
Die Gnaucks aus dem Bischofswerdaer Land
Der eher seltene Familienname "Gnauck" tritt schwerpunktmäßig in der Umgebung von Bischofswerda auf, dem so genannten "Bischofswerdaer Land". Die Wurzeln des Namens sind aber fränkisch. Die Erklärung für dieses Phänomen lässt sich aus der deutschen Ostsiedlung des Mittelalters ableiten. Nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg kam es zu einer verstärkten Binnenmigration, die eine Verbreitung über ganz Sachsen beförderte. Im 19. Jahrhundert, in einer Zeit der industriellen Revolution, der Zuwanderung in Städte und eines allgemeinen Bevölkerungswachstums, folgte eine weitere Migrationswelle, die Auswanderung vieler Deutscher und darunter auch Namensträger "Gnauck" in die USA.
