Even though some of the events are fictionalized or have been questioned, the basic story has not, and it's a window into the Mayan culture and the politics that led to the destruction of hundreds of indigenous villages and the killing of more than 100,000 people during Guatemala's civil war. Read along with Marge Pellegrino's new MG novel Journey of Dreams.<br /><br />The Country Under My Skin, by Gioconda Belli. Nicaraguan poet and novelist Belli describes how she, the daughter of a wealthy family, came to support the Sandinista revolution against the Somoza dictatorship and why she broke with them in the 1980s.<br /><br />Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number, by Jacobo Timerman. Journalist Timerman recounts his imprisonment and torture during Argentina's Dirty War and also touches on the dilemmas faced by the country's Jewish community, the largest in Latin America.<br /><br />And a play: Death and the Maiden, by Ariel Dorfman. What happens when a torture victim comes face to face with her torturer?Lyn Miller-Lachmannhttp://web.mac.com/lynmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-73167153381695547762009-09-30T22:04:58.420-04:002009-09-30T22:04:58.420-04:00Pick up your award Susan http://blackteensread2.bl...Pick up your award Susan http://blackteensread2.blogspot.com/2009/09/awards-catch-up-come-pick-up-your-award.html<br /> Amazing List.
