Teaching and Testimony - Rigoberta Menchu and the North American Classroom

By utilizing the testimonial narrative of Rigoberta Menchu - a Mayan-Quiche of Guatemala and winner of the 1992 Nobel Peace prize - teachers in this volume engage students in vital and relevant cross-cultural learning in a variety of locations, disciplines, and levels. Teaching and Testimony tells teachers' stories of using Menchu's testimonial in their classrooms, and invites reflection on the transformative possibility of integrating previously marginalized voices. Energized by the teaching of Menchu's testimonial narrative, I, Rigoberta Menchu, these teachers let their guard down, wrestle with the immediate difficulties and possibilities of multicultural teaching, and speak with passion about the importance of what they and their students are learning.
