Synopsis

This Nobel Peace Prize winner was born into a poor Indian peasant family, and raised in the Quiche branch of the Mayan culture. Her family paid extreme costs for being affiliated with the CUC, or Committee of the Peasant Union. Her father was murdered, her brother was beaten, tortured, and murdered, and her mother died after having been arrested, tortured, and raped by the armies set out to destroy the CUC and anyone speaking out against unfair worker practices. She is a leading advocate of Indian rights and ethno-cultural reconciliation, but death threats have forced her to return into exile. Introduce your readers to this powerful, unstoppable woman.
