Este libro documenta y analiza a partir de una incursión profunda en la realidad de la Selva Lacandona, en el sur de México. Este estudio sociológico contextualiza las propuestas educativas propias de las comunidades mayas en la lucha más amplia del zapatismo por la autonomía política y contribuye al conocimiento de las prácticas de educación de los movimientos indígenas latinoamericanos. A partir de un abordaje sociopolítico de la situación actual en las Cañadas de Ocosingo, Bruno Baronnet propone acercarse a la capacidad que tienen las familias campesinas para revalorizar, desde la asamblea a la escuela, los conocimientos generales, prácticos y éticos que estiman útiles y prioritarios para fortalecer su dignidad de pertenecer no sólo a la nación mexicana sino a una comunidad del pueblo Tseltal y a un municipio autónomo rebelde zapatista.

 Muertos Incómodos by Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, Spanish Edition
From Booklist:
Told in alternating chapters, Taibo's striking collaboration with the charismatic leftist leader known as Subcomandante Marcos is a curious animal, laying forth planks in the Zapatistas' platform for the rights of indigenous peoples against globalization and privatization with subversive, comic panache. Taibo's one-eyed detective, Hector Belascoaran, finds more questions than answers in his ongoing quest to vanquish evil, this time in the shadowy form of one (or more) Morales, who may have killed a ghost now leaving messages on answering machines around Mexico City. The quixotic Marcos' inspired contribution is Elias Conteras, an ingenuous investigator from Chiapas imbued with the soul of Sancho Panza. Elias' charming irreverence fits well in the anarchic eclecticism that governs the fictional universe of Taibo, whose fans will hardly be surprised to find a porn actor who looks like Osama Bin Laden tossed in with Pancho Villa, Barney the dinosaur, and Gustav Mahler. As one might expect, the political trumps the personal in this curious mix of crime novel and position paper, but it is just strange enough to attract a cult audience. David Wright
