"Eight important essays by outstanding scholars explore the historical development of the uprising in Chiapas. The essays work to place the events of 1994 and beyond into a framework that takes into account the movement's social and cultural antecedents (Knight, Aoyama, Thomson, Van Young, and Benjamin), as well as more recent trends in Mexican politics (Harvey, de Vos, and Casillas)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
