Zapatista!

Reinventing Revolution in Mexico

Edited by John Holloway and Eloina Pelaez

Examines the importance and relevance of the Zapatista movement in the late twentieth century
The Zapatista revolution has struck the imagination of the world. This groundbreaking book examines the global and domestic significance of the Zapatista movement and the Chiapas region itself, and features original contributions from British, American and Mexican writers.

John Holloway has published widely on Marxist theory, on the Zapatista movement and on the new forms of anti-capitalist struggle. His book Change the World without Taking Power has been translated into eleven languages and has stirred an international debate, and Crack Capitalism is a renowned classic. He is currently Professor of Sociology in the Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla in Mexico.

Dr Eloina Pelaez is an independent researcher who has worked in the University of Edinburgh and the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico.

'An impassioned and stimulation contribution to the understanding of a continuing rebellion with profound national and international significance' - International Affairs 'The book's many strengths include its coverage of the history of the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (EZLN), placing the struggle in a global context through a critique of neoliberalism and capitalism' - TLS
