Book Description
The life of Mexican Revolutionary Emiliano Zapata was the stuff that legends are made of. Born and raised in a tiny village in the small south-central state of Morelos, he led an uprising in 1911--one strand of the larger Mexican Revolution--against the regime of long-time president Porfirio Díaz. He fought not to fulfill personal ambitions, but for the campesinos of Morelos, whose rights were being systematically ignored in Don Porfirio's courts.
Expanding haciendas had been appropriating land and water for centuries in the state, but as the twentieth century began things were becoming desperate. It was not long before Díaz fell. But Zapata then discovered that other national leaders--Francisco Madero, Victoriano Huerta, and Venustiano Carranza--would not put things right, and so he fought them too. He fought for nearly a decade until, in 1919, he was gunned down in an ambush at the hacienda Chinameca.
In this new political biography of Zapata, Brunk, noted journalist and scholar, shows us Zapata the leader as opposed to Zapata the archetypal peasant revolutionary. In previous writings on Zapata, the movement is covered and Zapata the man gets lost in the shuffle. Brunk clearly demonstrates that Zapata's choices and actions did indeed have an historical impact.<br/><br/>This clearly written and carefully argued narrative presents a less mythical and more human Zapata against the dramatic and chaotic background of the Mexican Revolution.

Book Description
"A refreshingly unique historical analysis of the plight of peasants in revolutionary Mexico. . . . [Gledhill] offers invaluable insights into political, social, and economic processes in a style which is easily accessible to all interested scholars. This volume is highly recommended for graduate collections." --Journal of Developing Societies In this book, John Gledhill recounts for us the surprising history of a social revolution carried out "from above." In the enormous hacienda of Guaracha, situated in the northwest of the State of Michoacán, only a small group of rebels sympathized with the agrarian ideals of the Mexican Revolution. Faced with the indifference of the majority of the peasants and workers, the owner of the hacienda extrerminated the rebels. Later, the revoutionary government, perceived as abusive, anti-clerical and jacobean, aroused the mistrust and hostility of the people of Guaracha. Thus the redistribution of land promoted and effectuated by Lázaro Cárdenas--the great craftsman of Mexican agrarianism--served to achieve greater political control over these discontent peasants. But, as Gledhill demonstrates exhaustively, it did not serve to liberate them from poverty, nor to convert them into effective supporters of the regime. Casi Nada is the result of the many months that the author shared the lives of the ejidatarios of Guaracha and of his patient reconstruction of the collective memory concerning a half century of violence and hope. WIthout a doubt, it will become obligatory reading for those interested in the themes of agrarian reform, peasant reproudction and political control at the local level. The book will also serve to remind us that, if it is true that Mexican peasants never have supported populist inefficiencies, neither will they become enthusiastic supporters of a neoliberal agenda which condemns them to disappear.
