Summary

Now a global best seller, the remarkable life of Rigoberta Menchú, a Guatemalan peasant woman, reflects on the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America. 

Menchú suffered gross injustice and hardship in her early life: her brother, father, and mother were murdered by the Guatemalan military. She learned Spanish and turned to catechistic work as an expression of political revolt, as well as religious commitment. Menchú vividly conveys the traditional beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, this book is illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman.

Mayan Modern Struggle

When you think of Mayan you think of Tulum or Tikal but I listened to this as I travelled through Guatemala and learned first hand that Maya is a living culture. This astonishing biographical history explains that freedom fighters can be judged terroists by the prevailing authorities and details of the discrimination the Mayans have been subjected to for centuries. I listened in 2023 as the anti-corruption president elect was waiting to take office. I can only hope that Mayan people get justice and equality in their amazing and beautiful country.
