La Otra Campana / The Other Campaign (City Lights Open Media)by Zapatistas
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Other Campaign is a collection of texts by Subcomandante Marcos and his Zapatista compañeros that articulate a vision for “change from below,” a call to create social change beyond the limits of electoral politics. As Mexico approaches the presidential elections, Marcos and supporters are touring the country in an effort to build a broad-based movement. The book includes a recent interview with Marcos and speeches made by Zapatista comandantes, as well as the Zapatistas’ “Sixth Declaration of the Lacandón Jungle,” which places the indigenous struggle for democracy in its historical context and articulates an evolving vision for democracy, dignity, and justice. Subcomandante Marcos is a spokesperson and strategist for the Zapatistas. Book News Annotation:Since emerging as armed insurgency group from Mexico's Lacandon
Jungle in 1994, the Zapatistas have constantly shifted their
strategic focus in response to changing political conditions in
Mexico. Their latest initiative is the Other Campaign, so named to
indicate their opposition to and disdain for the Presidential
electoral politics happening at the same time. As part of the Other
Campaign, Zapatista spokesman Subcomandante Marcos and his compañeros
have been traveling the country, seeking to forge connections with
other indigenous and resistance groups. This volume contains the
Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle, explaining the rationale of
the Other Campaign, and a short interview with Marcos himself,
further elaborating. The texts are presented in both Spanish and
English on facing pages.
