Product Description
From Booklist
A study by Stanford professor Collier and freelance journalist Quaratiello delves into the conditions that led to the Zapatista rebellion in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Collier's perspective is based on more than 30 years of research involvement, during which Collier studied agriculture among the peasants of Chiapas' highlands. Together with Quaratiello, he explores the "forces--domestic and international"--that resulted in the ultimately volatile situation that erupted in January 1994. The densely written treatise gives an in-depth, overall history of Chiapas, from religious and ethnic influences to the political and economic conditions that have impacted the area the most. The work illuminates a difficult situation, providing a scholarly but readable resource for social issues collections. Alice Joyce

different but very interesting angle on the zapatistas,
By remosito (Princeton, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basta!: Land and the Zapatista Rebellion in Chiapas (Paperback)
The book has a very different focus on the Zapatista movementthan most others out there. It doesn't look at it from a present time point of view and what do the Zapatistas mean, what do they want, how do they work.... It looks simply at the history of the indigenous people of Chiapas Very interesting and well written
