Luttes autochtones pour une éducation autodéterminée
Depuis le contexte de la lutte des peuples mayas zapatistes au sud du Mexique, cet article met en lumière les enjeux sociopolitiques liés aux pratiques d'éducation autodéterminée qui sont portées quotidiennement par les familles rebelles de la forêt lacandone et des hautes terres du Chiapas. S'appuyant sur plus de vingt-cinq ans de suivi, de soutien et d'analyse, cet article explore les défis posés par l'exercice de l'autonomie politique dans le …
Thinking Outside the State
Indigenous Autonomies in Latin America in the Face of Contemporary Capitalism
This is the second part of a two-part series, beginning with the July 2024 issue of this journal, exploring the diversity of Indigenous autonomies confronting neoliberal capitalism and their dilemmas and strategic choices. Esta es la segunda parte de una serie de dos, comenzando con el número correspondiente a julio de 2024 de la presente revista, que exploran la diversidad de autonomías indígenas frente al capitalismo neoliberal, así como sus di…
Indigenous Autonomies in Latin America in the Face of Contemporary Capitalism
The contemporary phase of capitalism has led to an intensification of the process of "accumulation by dispossession," which entails a growing conflict between territorial displacement and indigenous resistances. These conflicts manifest in projects for autonomy that take on diverse forms. Here, we address the origins of these various concepts of autonomy while focusing on their corresponding dilemmas and strategic choices across different histori…
Latin American Extractivism
Resistance at the Borders of Power
Palestinians and Zapatistas exist in the liminal space at the margins of an oppressive state power, which they resist through their very existence as self-defined peoples. Their everyday resistance practices, reflecting prefigurative politics, forge collective identity and social subjectivity through what the Zapatistas call “dignified rage” and Palestinians call sumud (steadfastness). In the tradition of active nonviolence, both movements creati…
Hegemony, Counterhegemony, and Everyday Politics in Mexico
Indigenous Movements in Latin America
Political developments in Latin America have driven academic interest in Indigenous movements. This phenomenon emerged most clearly in the aftermath of massive uprisings that led to a flood of publications framed as “the return of the Indian” to the public consciousness. Much of our understanding of the history and trajectory of social movement organizing is a result of publications in response to these protests. Contemporary political concerns c…

Revolution and State in Modern Mexico
Searching for the Spirit of Zapata
A Second Look at Latin American Social Movements
The Zapatista Social Movement
The 1994 Zapatista rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, illustrates “glocal” resistance to the neoliberal world order. While rooted in indigenous communities, the rebellion is best understood not in terms of essentialist identities but rather as an ongoing process of creating new social practices in resistance to domination. The sustainability of the movement depends not on the overthrow of the state, but on the effort to continually transform society. …
Mexico's Middle Class in the Neoliberal Era - by Gilbert, Dennis
Resisting Neoliberal Homogenization
The Zapatista autonomy movement in Chiapas, Mexico, is a significant example of rising social-movement resistance to neoliberalism. The neoliberal project in Latin America since the 1980s has led to a retrenchment of the state, opening new space for social movements to contest power from below. In Mexico, the weakening of corporatist and clientelist mechanisms once controlled by the party-state allowed groups like the Zapatistas to assert rights …

Globalization and Social Movement Resistance
The rebellion launched by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) in 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico is best understood not as a guerrilla struggle for state power, but rather a social movement resisting the dominant mode of globalization being imposed from above. Examining the political, economic, and cultural dimensions of globalization as a set of contested processes, this case study of resistance shows how the Zapatistas have contested power…

Central America
As McDonald's plants its golden arches in Managua next to one of President Alemain's new traffic circles, it seems a good time to reassess the meaning of the Central American revolutions. Out of the ashes of the wars that killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions more, new banks and shopping centers and hotels are sprouting up, alongside the fire-eaters and windshield-swabbing children at stop lights and the other visible signs of worse…

Stabilization, Destabilization, and the Popular Classes in Nicaragua, 1979-1988
The political tensions surrounding economic stabilization in revolutionary Nicaragua between 1979 and 1988 will be examined in this article. A review of the Nicaraguan case reveals that the Sandinista model of a mixed economy (presupposing at least simple reproduction of the capitalist, small producer, and state sectors) with multiclass "national unity" created a series of demands that were increasingly difficult to reconcile with defense priorit…
El Salvador's Negotiated Transition
Like the reports of Mark Twain's death, the claims of a wave of democratization sweeping Latin America may be exaggerated. Yet the resurgence of electoral politics and the receding of military rule since the 1980s are trends that hold significance both for the future of Latin America and for inter-American relations. The transitions from bureaucratic-authoritarian rule in South America, and from the oligarchy-military alliances in Central America…
Massacre in Chiapas
Latin American Extractivism
The Dog That Didn't Bark
Organized labor's response to austerity is an important factor shaping the outcome of economic adjustment programs. Adjustment requires unequal degrees of sacrifice; labor and capital relinquish disruptive power in support of a project which the state must portray as transcending particular class interests. The implementation of economic reform is affected not only by regime type and the insulation of economic technocrats, but also by the potenti…
