The article presents information about two books on the plight of Guatemalan Indians. These books include "Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans," by David Stoll and "I, Rigoberta Menchú: An Indian Woman in Guatemala," by Rigoberta Menchú. In the early eighties "I, Rigoberta Menchú: An Indian Woman in Guatemala" became an international bestseller. A moving account of gruesome repression, gut-wrenching poverty and vicious racism, the book made Menchú, a human rights celebrity made her win a Nobel Peace Prize. In "Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans" alleges that Menchú exaggerated and otherwise distorted some of the events she chronicled in her autobiography.
