That autobiography--\u003ci\u003eI, Rigoberta Menchú\u003c\/i\u003e--transformed the study and understanding of modern Guatemalan history and brought its author international renown. She won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1992. At that point, she became the target of historians seeking to discredit her testimony and deny US complicity in the genocidal policies of the Guatemalan regime. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold here is the story of an unlettered woman who became the spokesperson for her people and clashed with the intellectual apologists of the world's most powerful nation. What happened to her autobiography speaks volumes about power, perception and race on the world stage. This critical companion to Menchú's work will disabuse many readers of the lies that have been told about this courageous individual.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGreg Grandin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eEmpire's Workshop\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Colonial Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWho is Rigoberta Menchú?\u003c\/i\u003e, the award-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Blood of Guatemala\u003c\/i\u003e, and the 2009 National Book Awards finalist \u003ci\u003eFordlandia\u003c\/i\u003e.
