The Zapatista Army for National Liberation burst onto the world
stage on 1 January 1994. Zapatista commander Subcomandante Marcos
announced a revolution, and declared war on the Mexican government
and global capitalism. Since then, the Zapatistas have inspired
thousands of activists across the world. They have attracted much
attention from political theorists and analysts. Despite this,
there is little consensus about the real nature and efficacy of the
movement. Zapatistas provides a bold new approach to understanding
the insurrection. Mentinis spent nine months visiting the Zapatista
autonomous zone, and the result is this unique exploration of the
indigenous political theory emerging within the movement. Combining
this with an analysis of the integrity of the Zaptista project,
Mentinis draws on the concept of the 'event' from Badiou, ideas
from Situationism, the 'project of autonomy' of Cornelius
Castoriadis and the 'constituent power' of Antonio Negri, to
present a rigourous account of the movement and the impact it has
had on radical political theory.
