Women of Maize: Indigenous Women and the Zapatista Rebellion

by Guiomar Rovira - £17.95  Latin America Bureau (2000)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781899365302 | ISBN 10: 1899365303

On New Year's Day 2004, San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, southern Mexico, was taken by a Tzotzil woman, Major Ana Maria of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN). Her story is one of the many stirring testimonies in 'Women of Maize'. From the beginning, women were integral to the rebellion and to the movement for social justice in Chiapas and Mexico. While the image of Subcomandante Marcos is recognisable the world over, the voices of the women involved in the rebellion have not yet carried so far. In 'Women of Maize' the women of Chiapas tell for the first time of their hopes and their struggles, and their fight for a more democratic and just way of life in Chiapas and the world.
