Summary: The title says it all
Review: First World, ha! ha! ha!

Yep! Mexico deserves to remain in the Third World where it belongs: mirred in poverty, with no future for its children, divided against itself, alienated from the rest of the world, with the army out of its barracks, with violence in every headline and blood spilling in every street just so Mr. Marcos can enlighten the Club Med-Left on the merits of armed revolution as opposed to mere burgeois elections. Thanks a lot! It's painfully obvious you don't live here, never read the man nor care at all about MY country!

Mexico in the First World? HA! Who do they think they are!

Summary: Buy it for someone you love
Review: For awhile now, I've been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding the situation in Chiapas, which, though most of us in our relative comfortability might not yet realize, WILL affect us all, just as it currently affects our brothers and sisters in the Mexican Southeast.

People I've spoken to are typically interested in the Zapatistas, but not yet interested enough to wade through whole books of statistics and background. Finally, I've got the book for them: a perfect introduction to the struggle -- a 3-D, communal mural painted from many angles. And it's enjoyable as hell to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Zapatista till the death
Review: Paco, I'm in the U.S.A. and I support the Zapatistas, as I would if I were in Mexico. I hate the American government with a passion, but I also hate the Mexican government. As a matter of fact, I hate any Mexican who does not embrace their indigenous roots. We are NOT Spaniards, but the Mexican government and people think they are.
