ITEM OVERVIEW
"Radical journalism the way it is supposed to be done." –Hakim Bey The new Zapatistas in Chiapas have served as a catalyst for revolutionary indigenous movements across Mexico, pioneering a new model of resistance and posing a powerful threat to NAFTA. Via powerful on-the-go reportage and interviews, here is vivid depiction and analysis of grassroots struggles for land and local autonomy now underway across Mexico—from the fishermen of Tabasco blockading State owned oil wells to protest pollution to Central Mexico, where plans for a giant computer complex and golf course sparked an Indian uprising. "This excellent book is indispensable for a full understanding of the uprising, as well as movements against free trade internationally." — Murray Bookchin
