In this landmark book, Seven Stories Press presents a powerful collection of literary, philosophical, and political writings of the masked Zapatista spokesperson, Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos. Introduced by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago, and illustrated with beautiful black and white photographs, Our Word Is Our Weapon crystallizes »the passion of a rebel, the poetry of a movement, and the literary genius of indigenous Mexico.«
Marcos first captured world attention on January 1, 1994, when he and an indigenous guerrilla group calling themselves »Zapatistas« revolted against the Mexican government and seized key towns in Mexico’s southernmost state of Chiapas.
In the six years that have passed since their uprising, Marcos has altered the course of Mexican politics and emerged an international symbol of grassroots movement-building, rebellion, and democracy. The prolific stream of poetic political writings, tales, and traditional myths which Marcos has penned since January 1, 1994 fill more than four volumes. Our Word Is Our Weapon presents the best of these writings, many of which have never been published before in English.
