Opis

Since 1989 an indigenous political movement - the Coalition of Workers, Peasants, and Students of the Isthmus (COCEI) - has governed the southern Mexican city of Juchitan. This title examines this Zapotec Indian movement and shows how COCEI forged a political and cultural path - overcoming oppression in the 1970s to achieve democracy in the 1990s.
