The neozapatist movement: its theory and practice

Meanwhile zapatistas walk. They walk and pose questions. Slowly but they move forward. One step ahead, two steps back. They sow seeds and animate their children.

Manifesto of the Network of Alternative Resistance (1999)

Groups in Western Europe and Latin America published a political program in Buenos Aires, September 1999 to create a worldwide counter power of non-government actors.

Restore historical facts to find our ways in the present.
