A massive uprising against the Mexican state of Oaxaca began with
the emergence of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca
(APPO) in June 2006. A coalition of more than 300 organizations,
APPO disrupted the functions of Oaxaca's government for six months.
It began to develop an inclusive and participatory political vision
for the state. Testimonials were broadcast on radio and television
stations appropriated by APPO, shared at public demonstrations,
debated in homes and in the streets, and disseminated around the
world via the Internet.
The movement was met with violent repression. Participants were
imprisoned, tortured, and even killed. Lynn Stephen emphasizes the
crucial role of testimony in human rights work, indigenous cultural
history, community and indigenous radio, and women's articulation
of their rights to speak and be heard. She also explores
transborder support for APPO, particularly among Oaxacan immigrants
in Los Angeles. The book is supplemented by a website featuring
video testimonials, pictures, documents, and a timeline of key
events.
