This booklet analyzes the tactics and strategies employed by the Zapatistas, and in particular Marcos, to court the diverse sectors which constitute Mexican civil society and to maximize their international profile. The Zapatistas have shown us how the dangerous tiger that is the media can in fact be to some extent tamed, mounted and ridden in the direction one wants, by a highly astute left-wing guerilla movement. How have the Zapatistas, as opposed to some of the 30 other armed struggle indigenous groups in Mexico, managed to consistently grab the media spotlight, and become a worldwide symbol of opposition to Neo-Liberalism and the spread of global capitalism.

Politics & Social Sciences

Politics & Government

A collection of essays, most from the 80s, but with one 'post-Iraq', looking at how, in a man's world, women can make revolutionary change. "Now in this exploration, we are moving onto the ground of meta-politics. Wild, vast and more primal than the little fenced-in suburban plots of what amerikkka calls 'politics'. From the rape bordellos of the Balkans to the mass murder by AIDS in Afrika, women are being pushed to understand men's society and, most importantly, ourselves, in a different way. The longest Amazon journey begins today."

Sixteen postcards featuring artwork by Zolo Agona Azania, a New Afrikan political prisoner who has spent 23 years on death row, and this despite having forced the State to admit to racist improprieties in his trial and and having his sentence overturned not once but twice - despite a judge ruling in May 2005 that the State should not be allowed to pursue the death penalty a third time as this would constitute a clear violation of Azania's rights, the prosecution is appealing, shamelessly pulling out all the stops to kill this man! As well as containing sixteen postcards by Azania, this booklet includes information about his case and current situation. Funds from the sale of this booklet are used for his support campaign.

When Race Burns Class: Settlers Revisited

J. Sakai

80 pages of crucial revisionist history, firmly rerooting Harriet Tubman in the context of patriarchy, race, class, and armed struggle. A fascinating, and much needed examination of the woman and her times. Her juxtaposition vis a vis the pro-American patriarch John Brown in particular is a great read. At a time when violence against women of color is at the center of world politics, uncovering the censored story of one Amazon points to answers that have nothing to do with government programs, police, or patriarchal politics.

'This exercise is about more than our desire to read and understand Wretched (as if it were about some abstract world, and not our own); it's about more than our need to understand (the failures of) the anti-colonial struggles on the African continent. This exercise is also about us, and about some of the things that We need to understand and to change in ourselves and our world.'-James Yaki Sayles One of those who eagerly picked up Fanon in the 60s, who carried out armed expropriations and violence against white settlers, Sayles reveals how, behind the image of Fanon as race thinker, there is an underlying reality of antiracist communist thought.

History & Criticism

There was a time when we proclaimed that we were part of a beautiful and fragmented chaos of affinity groups, conflicted organizations, disorganized rebels, all of whom were somehow part of the same social movement that was greater than the sum of its parts. We were more accurately a disorganized mob of enraged plebeians shaking our fists at a disciplined imperial army. Years ago we spoke of social movementism but now it only makes sense to drop the social since this phase of confusion was incapable of understanding the social terrain. Disparate, unfocused, and divided movements lack a unified intentionality; they have proved themselves incapable of pursuing the necessity of communism.
