Drawing from studies on topics ranging from the daily life of Zapatista women to the effect of transnational indigenous women in tipping geopolitical scales, the contributors explore both the personal and global implications of indigenous women's activism. The Zapatista movement and the Women's Revolutionary Law, a charter that came to have tremendous symbolic importance for thousands of indigenous women, created the potential for renegotiating gender roles in Zapatista communities. Drawing on the original research of scholars with long-term field experience in a range of Mayan communities in Chiapas and featuring several key documents written by indigenous women articulating their vision, Dissident Women brings fresh insight to the revolutionary crossroads at which Chiapas stands—and to the worldwide implications of this economic and political microcosm.Louann Atkins Temple women & culture series ;bk. 14.Maya womenMexicoChiapasSocial conditionsMaya womenMexicoChiapasPolitics and governmentChiapas (Mexico)Social conditionsMaya womenSocial conditions.Maya womenPolitics and government.305.800972/75Speed Shannon1964-1687870Hernandez Castillo Rosalva Aida0Stephen Lynn896389MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819558103321Dissident women4061672UNINA
