Examined here is the formation, structure and dynamics of the 'armed community in rebellion' amongst the Tojolab'ales between 1988 and 1996. The crisis of peasant organizations that emerged during the 1970s as a vehicle of 'liberation' for indigenous peasants brought about the presence and growth of a Zapatista guerrilla movement in the Cañadas region of Las Margaritas. It patiently infiltrated and penetrated ejido unions and Tojolab'al peasant communities, as a result of which the EZLN gained an impressive social base with common experiences of organization and conflict plus a shared social identity. Together with the resource provision via the collective groups, this process generated the grassroots solidarity on which was built Zapatista resistance by the 'armed community in rebellion
