“… engages in poetic experimentation through the writing of an Afrocentric and womanist creation myth in resistance to state-sanctioned violence against Black & brown peoples. The book includes poems in the voices of three characters: the creator goddess of a Black immortal people; her human daughter who carries the vivid memories of generational trauma and joy; and the poet who serves as witness to reality and creator of the surreal as survival mechanism in our tumultuous times.”

Rigoberta Menchú

Ann Wright

“Rigoberta Menchú is a young g Guatemalan peasant woman, already famous in her country as a national leader, whose life vividly reflects the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America. Faced with gross injustice and exploitation, she decided at an early age to learn Spanish and turned to catechist activity as an expression of social revolt as wall as deep religious belief. After the coming to power of the Lucas Garcia regime in 1978, her brother, father and mother were all killed in separate incidents of savagery on the part of the army…” 

Nobel peace prize winner.

An Indian Woman in Guatemala

Her story reflects the experiences common to many Indian communities in Latin America today. Rigoberta suffered gross injustice and hardship in her early life: her brother, father and mother were murdered by the Guatemalan military. She learned Spanish and turned to catechist work as an expression of political revolt as well as religious commitment. The anthropologist Elisabeth Burgos-Debray, herself a Latin American woman, conducted a series of interviews with Rigoberta Menchu. The result is a book unique in contemporary literature which records the detail of everyday Indian life. Rigoberta’s gift for striking expression vividly conveys both the religious and superstitious beliefs of her community and her personal response to feminist and socialist ideas. Above all, these pages are illuminated by the enduring courage and passionate sense of justice of an extraordinary woman.

I, Rigoberta Menchú

“Zombies… soulless corpses risen from the grave to do the bidding of their masters. They may have their factual basis in the voodoo ceremonies of Haiti, but is in short fiction and the movies that the walking dead have flourished. 
The Mammoth Book of Zombies brings together twenty-six stories which depict a wide range of methods for raising the dead—from traditional Caribbean rituals to futuristic science. Within this terrifying tome you’ll discover such classic tales of the macabre as Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar” and J. Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Schalken the Painter,” plus memorable stories from the pulp magazines by H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Bloch. Also collected here for the first time are stories by such established masters as Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, and Brian Lumley, plus two new novellas and original stories by a host of exciting names.”
