This morning, Laura Gottesdiener, usually on the housing and financial beat for TomDispatch, offers a vivid firsthand report from southern Mexico’s Lacandon jungle on the Zapatistas, the indigenous revolutionary movement that burst onto the scene in a globalizing moment 20 years ago, and despite much repression has never gone away. Her piece opens a window into other possibilities in our world, and into the meaning of dignity and autonomy on a planet whose ruling powers don’t encourage either. As an added treat, there is an introduction placing the Zapatistas in the context of recent history by Rebecca Solnit. Don’t miss this one! Tom tomdispatch/blog/175797/
