ZAPATISTA!
Reinventing Revolution In Mexico
Edited by John Holloway and Elo=EDna Pel=E1ez

The Zapatista uprising in Mexico has challenged the ideas and practices o=
f
the left unlike any other previous political movement.  Uniquely, the
Zapatista leaders used the Internet to announce their programme, rather
than leaving it to the whims of the international media.
Far from being just another peasant rebellion, their actions have
crystallised many of the principal themes of international left debate ov=
er
the last quarter century and have inspired political thought and activity=

worldwide.
This groundbreaking book examines the global and domestic significance of=

the Zapatistas, and the Chiapas region itself, featuring original
contributions from British, American and Mexican writers.
The contributors assess the impact of the Zapatistas on political thought=

and examine the formation of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation
(EZLN).  They also look at wider issues, such as the role of women in the=

movement, the use of electronic media by revolutionary groups, Mexico's
economic and political place in the modern world, and the significant
contribution that the EZLN's spokesman - Subcomandante Marcos - has made =
to
revolutionary literature.
This fascinating book skilfully demonstrates how the Zapatistas'
non-violent armed struggle against power has raised new questions about t=
he
meaning of revolution and political action.
