Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans

New Foreword by Elizabeth Burgos

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rigoberta Menchu is a living legend, a young woman who said that her odyssey from a Mayan Indian village to revolutionary exile was "the story of all poor Guatemalans." By turning herself into an everywoman, she became a powerful symbol for 500 years of indigenous resistance to colonialism. In this hotly debated book, key points of which have been corroborated by the New York Times, David Stoll compares a cult text with local testimony from Rigoberta Menchu's hometown.
