Book Reviews of Our Word is Our Weapon

Book Review: Good golly, Miss Molly!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the best books of nonfiction I've read. Not only does it function as a primary-source document for study, but it is genuinely good reading. Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos is a powerful writer, and this book documents a selection of his poems, letters, communiqu?s and even fables for young children. Marcos, the most wanted man in Mexico, will go down as a major figure in Latin American Literature.

Summary of Our Word is Our Weapon

In January 1994, the Zapatistas seized towns in Chiapas, Mexico, calling for broad democratic changes. The writings of Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, who emerged as the group's eloquent spokesman, are collected here. This edition features new pieces and new commentary by the editor.
