Reviews

"The Zapatista uprising in Chiapas was certainly one of the most dramatic and important instances in our time of a genuine grass roots movement against oppression. In this volume, the writings of Subcomandante Marcos give eloquent expression to this movement, revealing both its philosophical foundations and its tactical ingenuity. I believe his words and the statements of the Zapatistas can inspire a new generation of activists and let them understand that it is possible for ordinary people, without military power, without wealth, to challenge state power successfully on behalf of social justice" Howard Zinn.
