Book Reviews of Ya Basta! Ten Years of the Zapatista Uprising

Book Review: Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book for 28 bucks and thought to myself that for that price it better be a damn good book. I'm telling you right now that I would pay triple that amount after reading it. This book is simply a classic. It has communiques,stories,fictional stories with real meaning to them,essays and pretty much everything else you could think of. The stories with Durito are some of the most funny stories you'll ever read. Durito is a beetle who is a philosopher and he tells some amazingly funny stories and all of them have something meaningful to add to discussions. The Durito stories are worth the price alone. The essays are also beautifully written. Not only is Marcos a revolutionary, he's a damn smart revolutionary. Name a subject and he talks about it.He doesn't just talk about the plight of the Indigenous peoples of Chiapas, he tries to bring everybody into his discussions. He's a true revolutionary in the sense that he wants the entire world to join the struggle. All I can say is buy this beautiful book. I went into the book not knowing much about the Zapatistas, even though I'm and anarchist, and came out of the book wanting to fly down to Chiapas the next day. This book deserves everybodies attention.

Summary of Ya Basta! Ten Years of the Zapatista Uprising

Synopsis This comprehensive collection of essays and communiques of Subcomandante Marcos, chronicles the written voice of the Zapatista movement and its struggle to open a space within the neoliberal, globalised landscape for the oppressed peoples of the world.

Product Description: For ten years a voice from deep within the mountains and jungles of Mexico has inspired us to fight back. The most comprehensive collection of essays and communiqu?s of Subcomandante Marcos, ?Ya Basta! chronicles the written voice of the Zapatista movement and its struggle to open a space within the neoliberal, globalized landscape for the oppressed people of the world. It includes nearly 700 pages, and the tenth year anniversary communiqu?s. "How after 10 years does the historic and ongoing Zapatista uprising continue to transform the world? How did the poetic fury of their movement become part of the rising tide that sent waves of resistance crashing through the streets of Seattle, Genoa, Quebec, and Washington D.C.? Was it their weapons? Was it their words? After reading ?Ya Basta! you'll find that they can be one and the same." [ZACK DE LA ROCHA, Rage Against the Machine] "The Zapatista uprising in Chiapas was certainly one of the most dramatic and important instances in our time of a genuine grassroots movement against oppression. In this volume, the writings of Subcomandante Marcos give eloquent expression to this movement, revealing both its philosophical foundations and its tactical ingenuity. I believe his words and the statements of the Zapatistas can inspire a new generation of activists and let them understand that it is possible for ordinary people, without military power, without wealth, to challenge state power successfully on behalf of social justice." [HOWARD ZINN] "The world has a new kind of hero, one who listens more than speaks, who preaches in riddles not in certainties, a leader who doesn't show his face, who says his mask is really a mirror. And in the Zapatistas, we have not one dream of a revolution but a dreaming revolution." [NAOMI KLEIN, author of the international bestseller No Logo]. "After over 500 years of conquest, the indigenous -people already know what the rest of us must learn about empires: that they exploit the many for the privileges of the few, that they ransack the cultures of antiquity, that they place a burden even on the mother countries. But in their actions and writings, the Zapatistas are inspiring a new generation to join the struggle for a better world. It's our world too!" [TOM HAYDEN] Includes forewords by Noam Chomsky and Noami Klein; and is edited and with a contribution by Ziga Vodovnik.
