Thought 10: The Struggle of Integration

Hi all,

This week I discuss the book I, Rigoberta Menchu, and mainly focus on her struggle between Christianity/Catholicism and Maya-Quiche spirituality. I draw on Inca Garcilaso de la Vega for inspiration! Also, we discuss the theatrics in the story of ‘explicit not-sharing’.

 

*THE WORD IS TESTIMONIO! Of course… haha

Question: How does one separate Christian doctrine from the heinous colonial acts done in the name of Christianity? Is this possible? Why or why not?
