About this book

Essays on resistance and collective memory in several key moments of social unrest in recent times: teacher's movement in Oaxaca in 2006, national teachers' protest against Enrique Peña Nieto's educational reforms, historic origins of neo-Zapatismo in Chiapas, 1997 Acteal massacre and others. Discusses contributions of 'anthropology of state' and identifies and counters erroneous historical assumptions about these social phenomena. Edition limited to 500 copies.
