David Stoll

David Stoll is an American anthropologist. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology from the University of Michigan and completed his Master's and Ph.D. at Stanford University. He spent much of the nineteen-eighties and nineties in Latin American countries such as Colombia and Guatemala, where his research is concentrated. In his book Rigoberta Menchú and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans, Stoll pointed out inconsistencies between his fieldwork and the memoir that Nobel Peace Prize laureate Rigoberta Menchú wrote with Elizabeth Burgos. Additionally, Stoll criticized many Western academics in their interpretation of Menchú's story, claiming that such academics romanticize guerrillas in Latin America.[1] The New York Times featured his controversial findings about Menchú on their front page. He currently teaches at Middlebury College.
