Land, freedom, and autonomy lead us to explore the different regions of Chiapas showing us the impacts that the Zapatista movement has had on the daily lives of the Mayan communities. From historical and ethnographic perspectives, the authors of this book analyze the complexities of indigenous and peasant resistance, confronting the homogenizing views of Indigenous peoples. In contrast to essentialist perspectives that see indigenous peoples as heirs of ancient cultures, these essays account for the way in which collective identities are historically constructed as a result of multiple dialogues. In this way, this book shows a balance of the impact that the insurgent movement has had on the political projects of the Chiapaneco Indians and, at the same time, aims to establish a dialogue between different theoretical and political perspectives. It is a collective effort to contribute, from the academy to the recognition of cultural diversity, and diversity within diversity.
