Neil Harvey combines ten years of field work in Chiapas with extensive historical and political research to provide a comprehensive history of conflict in this region and a nuanced analysis of this rural uprising against federal bureaucracy and landed elites.Beginning with an exploration of the history of ethnic and class conflict in Chiapas since the Conquest, Harvey moves specifically to trace the development of peasant and indigenous organizations in Chiapas since the early 1970s. He compares the struggles for agrarian rights of three grassroots movements facing hostility from both local elites and federal bureaucrats. His examination of the complexities of political change in Chiapas includes the impact of neoliberal economic policies, the origins of the Zapatista army of National Liberation (EZLN), and the political impact of the rebellion itself. Engaging with current theoretical debates on the role and significance of social movements in Mexico and Latin America, Harvey focuses on the primacy of political struggle and on the importance of these movements in the construction and meaning of citizenship. While suggesting that the Zapatista revolution has heightened awareness among the people of Chiapas of such democratic issues as ethnicity, gender, and land distribution, he concludes with an analysis of the obstacles to peace in the region today.This unprecedented study of the Zapatista rebellion will provoke discussion among students and scholars of contemporary Mexico, political science, Latin American studies, history, sociology, and anthropology. 606 $aSocial movements$zMexico$zChiapas$xHistory 606 $aPeasants$xPolitical activity$zMexico$zChiapas$xHistory 606 $aIndians of Mexico$zMexico$zChiapas$xGovernment relations 606 $aLand reform$zMexico$zChiapas$xHistory 606 $aRepresentative government and representation$zMexico$xHistory 607 $aMexico$xPolitics and government$y1988-2000 607 $aChiapas (Mexico)$xHistory$yPeasant Uprising, 1994- 615 0$aSocial movements$xHistory. 615 0$aPeasants$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aLand reform$xHistory. 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation$xHistory. 676 $a972/.750835 676 $a972.750835 700 $aHarvey$b Neil$f1961-$01635262 801 0$bNDD 801 1$bNDD 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822302103321 996 $aThe Chiapas Rebellion$93975952 997 $aUNINA
