Zapatista
Reinventing Revolution in Mexico

The Zapatista revolution has struck the imagination of the world. This book examines its importance and relevance in the late twentieth century.

'The book's many strengths include its coverage of the history of the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN), placing the struggle in a global context through a critique of neoliberalism and capitalism.' TLS This groundbreaking book examines the global and domestic significance of the Zapatista movement and the Chiapas region itself, and features original contributions from British, American and Mexican writers.
