different but very interesting angle on the zapatistas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The book has a very different focus on the Zapatista movementthan most others out there. It doesn't look at it from a presenttime point of view and what do the Zapatistas mean, what do theywant, how do they work....It looks simply at the history of the indigenous people of Chiapasand their relationship with the mexican governement and tries tomake sense and explain why it is that the zapatista rebellion happened in Chiapas.Very interesting and well written
