This article focuses on the interplay between shifting regulatory practices of the Mexican neoliberal state and attempts to destabilize them by Zapatista civilian support bases, as they enact practices of autonomy, particularly through the sphere of conflict resolution. In doing so, the article suggests that the cultural practices of justice unsettle relevant regulatory forces during a particular moment in Chiapas state formation and are hence central to disrupting the continued legacies of colonial power – knowledge. Similarly, the argument offers a framework of analysis that allows us to trace the possibilities and challenges of indigenous and afro-descendent struggles in subverting hegemonic state processes
