Her testimony, \u003cem\u003eI, Rigoberta Menchú\u003c\/em\u003e, denounced atrocities by the Guatemalan army and propelled her to the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize. But her story was not the eyewitness account that she claimed. 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 Menchú's hometown. His reconstruction of her story goes to the heart of debates over political correctness and identity politics and provides a dramatic illustration of the rebirth of the sacred in the postmodern academy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis expanded edition includes a new foreword from Elizabeth Burgos, the editor of \u003cem\u003eI, Rigoberta Menchú\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a new afterword from Stoll, who discusses Rigoberta Menchú's recent bid for the Guatemalan presidency and addresses the many controversies and debates that have arisen since the book was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Stoll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813343968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813343969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.05w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 98","brand":"David Stoll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44449942077695,"sku":"9780813343969","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69e0f1f9-4952-4842-a99b-b87ee6cbaf46.jpg?v=1698501874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rigoberta-menchu-and-the-story-david-stoll-9780813343969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
