@americhica my friend, unfortunately everything stated in the book is true. The Guatemalan army it was by far the most horrifying in all Central America. They beat, demoralized, killed the indigenous people in guatemala. I will agree that in some of the events she didnt live it up, however it is undenied, and undisputed that at that moment the racism and the genocide in guatemala was something so common like going to pee.

@americhica did you not read anything in the book?! The events talked about in her account could not have been conjured up. How would someone make up a story about genocide and fighting for your land?

@TinaPetey Correction, you are the fraud: Human rights are policies imposed on latin-america: If we, in Guatemala send the army to put order when there are disturbances or roads are blocked we'll be labelled savages.

In Europena countries, just like during the climate summit in copenhagen the police beat the hell out lf everybody who was protesting...yawn. You're a bunch of hypocrites.

The Illuminati has created a hero for you. This biography of," I Rigoberta Menchu is false, it's fiction. Please look into the matter deeply! This is simply propaganda. Listen up! The Illuminati hands out prizes like the "Nobel Peace Prize". You attack anyone who disagrees with you, by calling them "ignorant". But do you actually know this woman on a personal level? Do you have first hand information as a witness to her life? No? Look into the matter yourself!

@TinaPetey
