<br/><br/> Don't be Afraid Gringo is the award-winning oral history of Elvia Alvarado, a courageous campesina (peasant) activist in Honduras, the poorest country in Central America.  Trained by the Catholic Church to organize wormen's group to combat malnutrition, Alvarado began to question why campesinos were malnourished to begin with.  Alvarado has led dangerous land recovery actions in an effort to enforce the national land reform laws.  Her story provides the reader with a perspective on Honduras - indeed, on all of Central America - that even the best reporting from the outside cannot offer.
