Abstract

The Zapatista rebellion commands scholarly attention. The novelty of the rebellion's tactics combined with the sophistication of its discourse provides rich material for understanding Latin American social movements. We have greatly benefited from both scholarly theoretical approaches and substantive academic analysis and debate regarding the meaning of democracy, citizenship and politics. Shannan Mattiace's contribution, To See with Two Eyes, is a valuable addition to this expanding literature.
