I, Rigoberta MenchÃº by Rigoberta MenchÃº: Now a global bestseller, the remarkable life of Rigoberta MenchÃº, a Guatemalan peasant woman, reflects on the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America. MenchÃº 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. MenchÃº 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.

Who Is Rigoberta MenchÃº? by Greg Grandin: In 1984, Nobel Peace Prizeâ€“winner and indigenous rights activist Rigoberta MenchÃº published I, Rigoberta MenchÃº, her autobiographical account of life in Guatemala under a military dictatorship to great acclaim. The book rapidly transformed the study and understanding of modern Guatemalan history. Since then, her memoir has increasingly become a target for rightwing historians and commentators seeking to discredit MenchÃºâ€™s account and to deny the genocide carried out by the Guatemalan military regime with US support. Greg Grandin, in this crucial accompaniment to MenchÃºâ€™s work, takes on her critics to set the story straight. He investigates the historical context and political realities that underlie MenchÃºâ€™s past and the ongoing debate surrounding it, in this substantial new work on Guatemalan history.
