On January 1, 1994 in the far southeast of Mexico, a guerrilla
army of indigenous Mayan peasants calling itself the Zapatista Army
of National Liberation rose up in rebellion against 500 years of
colonialism, imperialism, genocide, racism, and neoliberal
capitalism. Zapatismo Beyond Borders examines how Zapatismo, the
political philosophy of the Zapatistas, crossed the regional and
national boundaries of the isolated indigenous communities of
Chiapas to influence diverse communities of North American
activists.
Providing readers with anthropological perspectives that draw on
a year of fieldwork with activists, and also enriched by the
author's own experience with contemporary social justice struggles,
Alex Khasnabish examines the "transnational resonance" of the
Zapatista movement. He shows how the spread of Zapatismo has
unexpectedly produced new imaginations and practices of radical
political action in diverse socio-political movements throughout
North America. Zapatismo Beyond Borders is an engaging study of a
radical political philosophy that has been both a model for
grassroots organizations and a rallying call for members of the
anti-globalization movement. Rigorous and engaged, this will be of
interest to anyone interested in indigenous rights movements,
political philosophy, and the recent history of political
activism.
