Green lizards dart through the deserted chapels. The bells which summoned to toil and to worship are silent. The peons are free. But they are not contented. -Ernest Gruening on Morelos, Mexico and its Heritage, New York: Appleton Century Croft, 1928, 162.

KNITTING TOGETHER SPACE AND DIGNITY IN THE EZLN REBELLION IN MEXICO by CLAUDIA VILLEGAS DELGADO A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Geography written under the direction of Neil Smith and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Producing a ‘Space of Dignity’. Knitting together Space and Dignity in the EZLN Rebellion in Mexico by CLAUDIA VILLEGAS DELGADO Dissertation Director: Neil Smith I explore the production of new political, cultural and economic spaces (including the Zapatista Rebel Territory, Rebel Autonomous Municipalities, Caracoles and Juntas) constructed by the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN), an indigenous rebellion in the Mexican state of Chiapas that rose up against the government on January 1, 1994. These spaces are articulated as a symbol of and material basis for sustaining the long- term resistance begun by the EZLN to demand a ‘space of dignity’ for the indigenous peoples. Based on the major stages in the EZLN’s political practice from 1994 to 2003 —the Declarations of the Lacandona Jungle, the declaration of the Zapatista Rebel Territory, and current phase of Good Government— I discuss further how a ‘space of dignity’ can be conceptually defined, how it can be socially produced, and how it can be a means for social transformation. My approach to the Zapatista struggle sheds a light not only on the resulting relationships between space, dignity and resistance, but it looks forward to the meaning ii these concepts and relationships have for understanding the nature of the Zapatista rebellion and the contribution of this experience within the larger context of the production of space in capitalism. -

The Politics of Economic Restructuring in Mexico: Actors, Sequencing, and Coalition Change
1 The Politics of Economic Restructuring in Mexico: Actors, Sequencing, and Coalition Change Maria Lorena Cook, Kevin J. Middlebrook, and Juan Molinar Horcasitas The parallel movements toward political democratization and economic liberalization that have swept many countries in Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, and Africa, since the early 1980s are a challenging subject of scholarly inquiryybifferent analysts have examined the origins and timing of these developments, the combinations of interna tional and domestic factors that produced such historically significant changes, and the interaction between political opening and market reforms (including trade and exchange rate liberalization, deregulation of commercial and investment opportunities, and privatization of state- owned enterprises) in different national contexts. It is certainly the coincidence of shifts toward political democratization and economic liberalization that makes these developments a particularly compelling subject for students of comparative political economy. Wet in many instances, one of these processes clearly antedated the other, often by a substantial period of time. In recognition of this fact, some analysts underscore the potential importance that the sequencing of political and economic opening may have for the timing of regime change and the political profile of newly inaugurated democracies.1 For example, if economic liberalization leads to more rapid growth, an authoritarian regime may bolster its perfor- 1See, for example, Haggard and Kaufman -

Plan of Ayala, 1911, by Emiliano Zapata
http://social.chass.ncsu.edu/slatta/hi216/documents/ayala.htm Plan of Ayala, 1911, by Emiliano Zapata Note on the document: Zapata and his peasant followers in Morelos fought hard against the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz, trying to regain their lands stolen from them. Originally a backer and ally of Diaz's successor, President Francisco Madero, Zapata turned against Madero after concluding that the new president had betrayed his promises to the people of Mexico. Look for specific complaints lodged by Zapata and his followers against Madero. Thanks to Professor Richard Slatta for permission to reproduce this translation and introduction from his web site.

We who undersign, constituted in a revolutionary junta to sustain and carry out the promises which the revolution of November 20, 1910 just past, made to the country, declare solemnly before the face of the civilized world which judges us and before the nation to which we belong and which we call [sic, llamamos, misprint for amamos, love], propositions which we have formulated to end the tyranny which oppresses us and redeem the fatherland from the dictatorships which are imposed on us, which [propositions] are determined in the following plan: 1. Taking into consideration that the Mexican people led by Don Francisco I. Madero went to shed their blood to reconquer liberties and recover their rights which had been trampled on, and not for a man to take possession of power, violating the sacred principles which he took an oath to defend under the slogan "Effective Suffrage and No Reelection," outraging thus the faith, the cause, the justice, and the liberties of the people: taking into consideration that that man to whom we refer is Don Francisco I. -
Mexican Elections, 1910–1994: Voters, Violence, and Veto Power
chapter 3 MEXICAN ELECTIONS, 1910–1994: VOTERS, VIOLENCE, AND VETO POWER p aul g illingham Between 1910 and 1994, voters turned out for around eighty thousand elections in Mexico. 1 These elections were deeply diverse, their form and function determined by level, region, and time. The analytical diffi culty of generalizing about these con- tests has traditionally been resolved by not deeming them contests at all.2 Instead modern Mexican elections have in the main been dismissed as epiphenomenal to the real business of recruiting elites, reproducing power, and constituting a political system.3 Most scholars since the 1960s identifi ed their primary function as “cer- emony,” “a mere legitimising ritual” through which a politically apathetic popula- tion periodically passed. 4 Elections before the democratic transition were, Daniel Levy and Kathleen Bruhn judge, eminently “safe and predictable.” 5 At the skeptical extreme, Frank Brandenburg considered even the denunciation of electoral fraud a Machiavellian gambit, deliberately and misleadingly suggesting “the authenticity of an organized opposition, of free and effective suffrage, and of a give-and-take electoral contest in which the offi cial slate truly won by an overwhelming major- ity, even though a few minor electoral manipulations occurred.” 6 Such smoke-and- mirror appreciations were a commonplace among political outcasts and public intellectuals across the century and were amplifi ed during the protracted transition of the 1980s and 1990s. 7 A broad consensus held that Mexican voters had invari- ably faced overwhelming institutional and informal, often violent impediments 00001342895.INDD001342895.INDD 5533 99/8/2011/8/2011 111:33:151:33:15 AAMM 54 political development to effective electoral representation. -

The truth is that all the comparativists I know chose their countries before choosing the subject of their research. I am no exception—though I do believe that Mexico is well- suited to a study of disenchantment with politics in new democracies. I first visited the interior of Mexico in 1992 when in May I went on vacation to Mexico City to visit a friend, Alec Gershberg. Four months later, with my last paycheck from a job at a San Francisco law firm, two suitcases, and a box of CD’s and books, I went down to Mexico for a year to practice Spanish and learn the culture. -

Mujeres Morelenses En La Revolución Mexicana Un Enfoque De Género
TAMOANCHAN Revista de Ciencias y Humanidades Mujeres morelenses en la Revolución Mexicana Un enfoque de género Women from Morelos in the Mexican Revolution A gender approach Rocío Aída Gómez Garduño Resumen: La participación de la mujer en la Revolución Mexicana fue mucho más amplia de lo que nos imaginamos, pues no sólo cubrió su papel tradicional, como soldadera ; sino que también realizó labores comúnmente adjudicadas a los varones, muchas tomaron el fusil y participaron en la lucha armada como soldados. Incluso, algunas de ellas tuvieron que hacerse pasar por hombres. De esta manera, podemos constatar la capacidad de la mujer para realizar todo tipo de roles, incluyendo los tradicionalmente adjudicados al varón. En este artículo presento los resultados de la investigación documental, así como de algunas entrevistas provenientes de la fuente oral y de archivos orales, que dan cuenta de la participación de las mujeres, en especial, las morelenses. Este trabajo obtuvo el segundo lugar en el en el concurso estatal de ensayo Las mujeres morelenses en la Independencia y la Revolución , con motivo del Centenario de la Revolución. Palabras clave: Revolución Mexicana, mujer, mujeres soldados, feminismo, género. Abstract: The role of women in the Mexican Revolution was wider than we imagine. Not only they assumed their traditional role, as “soldaderas”, but they also took on tasks commonly assigned to men, many of them took up rifles and got involved in war as soldiers. Even some of them had to impersonate men. So, we can confirm the ability of women to perform all kind of roles, including those traditionally assigned to men.
