Description

In 1984, indigenous rights activist Rigoberta Menchú published a harrowing account of life under a military dictatorship in Guatemala. That autobiography—I, Rigoberta Menchú—transformed the study and working out of brand new Guatemalan history and brought its writer international renown. She won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. At that point, she changed into the target of historians in quest of to discredit her testimony and deny US complicity within the genocidal policies of the Guatemalan regime.

Told here is the tale of an unlettered woman who changed into the spokesperson for her people and clashed with the intellectual apologists of the world’s most powerful nation. What happened to her autobiography speaks volumes about power, perception and race at the world stage. This essential companion to Menchú’s work will disabuse many readers of the lies which were told about this courageous individual.
