Lessons from the Zapatistas is essential reading for anyone interested in liberation, democracy and radical social transformation. It tells the story of the Zapatista insurgency and its afterlives, tracing how an Indigenous uprising burst forth from southern Mexico's Lacandon Jungle to stage the 21st century's first and most electrifying example of autonomy in action. The book provides a succinct history of the Zapatistas while analyzing their unique political thought as an amalgam of influences from Mayan cosmovision and languages, the Mexican Revolution, Latin American revolutionary thought, Marxism and anarchism. The authors trace the movement from its clandestine origins to the 1994 uprising and failed negotiations with the Mexican government, through the development of their unique form of grassroots autonomy and self-government - all the while fending off the violence of the state. The book offers an original analysis of Zapatista political theory, attending to the prominent role of women, their practice of social autonomy and experiments in education, self-government and alternative economic development.
