MENCHU, RIGOBERTA and BURGOS-DEBRARY, ELISABETH editor I, Rigoberta Menchu. An Indian Women in Guatemala.
London Verso 1984 0860917886 / 9780860917885 Soft Cover
Translated by Ann Wright. 251 pages, pictorial wrappers, very good. From the cover, 'Rigoberta Menchu is a young Guatemalan peasant woman, already famous in her country as a national leader, whose life vividly reflects the experiences common to so many Indian communities in Latin America. Faced with gross injustice and exploitation, she decided at an early age to learn Spanish and then turned to catechist activity as much as an expression of social revolt as of her deep religious belief. After the coming to power of the Garcia Lucas regime in 1978, her brother, father and mother were all killed in separate, horrifying incidents of savagery on the part of the army. The anthropologist Elisabeth Burgos-Debrary, herself a Latin Ameircan woman, decided to undertake an ambitious programme of interviews with Rigoberta Menchu. The result is a book unique in contemporary, literature, which records the stuff of everyday life in a Guatemalan Indian community.'
