 1. Sólo una noche (short fiction)
   Renato Pérez García
Nuestra Arma es Nuestra Palabra
Selected writings of Subcomandante Marcos

The struggle for Indigenous rights and autonomy in Chiapas is among the most compelling events in modern Mexican history. As a voice of those who have been abused for centuries, Marcos has written a considerable number essays that not only define and keep alive the indigenous fight in southern Mexico, but also show the plights in Chiapas to be a global struggle shared by everyone. Beautiful prose and sharp social criticism mixed with whimsical humor and satire abound in this excellent collection of writings.
