I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala

3.8/5 ( ratings)

She learned Spanish and turned to catechistic work as an expression of political revolt as well as religious commitment. Mench&uacute; vividly conveys the traditional beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, these pages are illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman.
