Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Before reading this book, I knew very little (actually nothing) about the Zapatista women and the EZLN. This book is really well written and informative. The women's testimonies are insightful and spread hope that things can be changed. Hilary Klein tells the history of the movement, how the EZLN has encouraged women to participate, the difficulties encountered by women, how they have managed step by step to change things, etc. A book definitely worth reading and inspiring.

This is the untold story of the women of the Zapatista movement and the roles they played in the guerrilla army. Gathered by longtime community organiser Hilary Klein, the Zapatista women's own recollections of their lives, struggles and critical involvement bring to light the tremendous transformation of gender roles that has occurred in this culture of revolution. Instructive for all who are committed to examining how existing grassroots alternatives to global capitalism can guide the way toward justice, equality and democracy. No library descriptions found. |
