Book excerpt: In 1983, I naively traveled to Guatemala, wishing to serve those in need by working with an evangelical ministry there. Nothing that I planned for happened, and the unexpected very much did, leading me into mountain villages where children had never seen someone like me, becoming slowly aware of the political turmoil that would lead to a military coup, ousting the president, and creating an environment that was threatening to those of my faith at the time. Through it all, I experienced great hospitality from the very poor, was encouraged by their New Testmant faith, and will cherish always singing, in the mountain villages, with the children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guatemala draws some half million tourists each year, whose brief visits to the ruins of ancient Maya cities and contemporary highland Maya villages may give them only a partial and folkloric understanding of Guatemalan society. In this vividly written travel narrative, Stephen Connely Benz explores the Guatemala that casual travelers miss, using his encounters with ordinary Guatemalans at the mall, on the streets, at soccer games, and even at the funeral of massacre victims to illuminate the social reality of Guatemala today. The book opens with an extended section on the capital, Guatemala City, and then moves out to the more remote parts of the country where the Guatemalan Indians predominate. Benz offers us a series of intelligent and sometimes humorous perspectives on Guatemala's political history and the role of the military, the country's environmental degradation, the influence of foreign missionaries, and especially the impact of the United States on Guatemala, from governmental programs to fast food franchises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheriff Robert Gallegos, tall, handsome, quiet, friendly, Native American/Hispanic, an ex-WWII Marine is determined that the encroaching Juarez, Mexico drug cartel that will stop at nothing to take over his south eastern New Mexico, Aragon Valley - will not, on his watch, succeed. But as intimidation, rape and murder stalk the rural community, the reality of the threat, this summer of 1965, grows ominously closer. A man's man, with friends dating back to childhood and enemies current, romantic when the time is right, the Sheriff's real companion is Old Lady Sara Tree-Root Tampoya, the part-Hopi Medicine Woman who communicates with Grey Lady Between the Mountains, bringer of passages of life and of death, as he struggles to stay centered in the present and decipher the past, to understand who he really is. The wild red-dust wind gallops day and night through the streets of this fictional Aragon Valley county and town, situated near the Rio Grande, somewhere between Las Cruces and the borders of El Paso, Texas and Ciudad de Juarez, Mexico. Santa Feans, Easterners, Denver and West Coast hippies, foreigners and lovers are welcomed, Juarez drug cartel goons are not, and all soon learn to ask no personal questions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigoberta Menchú is a living legend, a young woman who said that her odyssey from a Mayan Indian village to revolutionary exile was "the story of all poor Guatemalans." By turning herself into an everywoman, she became a powerful symbol for 500 years of indigenous resistance to colonialism. Her testimony, I, Rigoberta Menchú, 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. This expanded edition includes a new foreword from Elizabeth Burgos, the editor of I, Rigoberta Menchú, 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.
