Conversations With Durito Stories of The Zapatistas And Neoliberalism

In 1994, from the Lacandon jungle of Mexico, Zapatista Subcomandante Marcos took the time to reply to a ten-year-old girl in Mexico City who had sent him a drawing. In his response, Marcos conjured a fable introducing a beetle and knight-errant, Don Durito de la Lacandon. Marcos' ensuing output of Durito-related communiqués and tales evolved into an overview of the Zapatistas' history, politics, and opposition to capitalist globalization. Here are all the Durito stories issued to date, translated, annotated, and contextualized by the Áccion Zapatista Editorial Collective, and illustrated by simpático artists. Poetic, humorous, and imaginative, these fables are an excellent introduction to the politics of globalization from the radical perspective of indigenous struggle.Marcos, Subcomandante Insurgente is the author of 'Conversations With Durito Stories of The Zapatistas And Neoliberalism', published 2005 under ISBN 9781570271182 and ISBN 1570271186.
