The Zapatista Reader
by
The electrifying effect the Zapatista peasant rebellion has had on leading figures in the intellectual, political, and literary world since the Zapatistas woke them up on New Year's Day, 1994, has provided inspiration for activists all over the world. A remarkable synergy has also developed between leading writers, novelists, and journalists and Subcomandante Marcos, the enigmatic, pipe-smoking and balaclavered leader of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation, who seems like a character out of a "magical realism" novel. This "reader" includes a wide sampling of the best of the writing to emerge on the subject. THE ZAPATISTA READER includes Saramago's remarkable essay on Marcos as well as essays from Paco Taibo II, Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Elena Poniatowska, Ilan Stavans, Carlos Monsivais, Jorge Castenada, Jose Saramago, John Berger, Marc Cooper, Andrew Kopkind, Bill Weinberg and Eduardo Galeano. Zapatistas! also includes Marcos's hallucinatory letters to John Berger, Eduardo Galeano, and Carlos Monsivais. The book is a journey through an insurgent and magical world of culture and politics, where celebrants and critics debate what Carlos Fuentes has described as the world's first 'post-communist rebellion.' Tom Hayden introduces the collection by drawing on his experiences in Chiapas and includes an examination of the U.S. role in the Mexican state's "low-intensity" war against the Zapatistas and the détente between the new president of Mexico and Marcos.

The Puzzles of Amish Life
by Donald B. Kraybill
Revised Edition! People's Place Book #10. "The puzzles of Amish life are many. Telephones, taboo in homes, stand at the end of farm lanes. Powerful tractors, used at Amish barns, rarely venture into fields. Forbidden to own or operate motor vehicles, the Amish freely hire cars and vans for transportation. "The unique blend of old and new in Amish life baffles us. These perplexing puzzles, however, are quite reasonable when pieced together in the context of Amish history". -- from the Introduction. Donald Kraybill, a sociologist and professor, has provided a way to understand the Amish people's intentional way of living in a world far different from their own. A readable and intriguing interpretation.
