Book Reviews of I, Rigoberta Menchu: An Indian Woman in Guatemala

Book Review: An honest human biography of a Guatamalan Mayan Woman
Summary: 5 Stars

I started reading this book for a Spanish class, I felt ashamed of the human race for treating our fellow human beings worse than animals. The struggle of Rigoberta Menchu along with her people shows us their honest desire of trying to live in peace with nature and their Gods, we so-called Civilized people could learn so much from Rigoberta and her people.Sometimes I think we should all go back to nature and start all over again. Maybe then we could learn to live in peace with one another relying once again on our fellow man and restoring our once beautiful earth. The injustices inflicted upon the original Guatemalan Mayan people our inhuman, even though they haven't gone to school as we have, their wisdom far succombs ours. I only hope that someone hears her cry and really helps her people.
