Food First Books, Oakland, Calif. [c1999]. Soft Cover. Foreword by Peter Rosset. Preface by Rodolfo Stavenhagen. 235, [2] p., index, maps, charts; 21.5 cm. "This book makes absolutely clear what the economic restructuring of the 1980s has left in its wake, and while their chosen case study is of Chiapas, what they have to say is equally relevant to South Central Los Angeles or any other community that has had its fabric ripped asunder by home-grown or exported Reaganomics. The growing gulf between rich and poor leads to the desperation and violence of neighbor against neighbor. In Chiapas, at least, a new social grouping has emerged from the desolation, represented by the Zapatistas and their spokesman, Sub-Comandante Marcos. Perhaps they are showing all of us a path forward, setting aside the ethnic differences that separate us and the verticalism that often stifles popular movements."
