The EZLN (Zapatista National Liberation Army) came to the world's
attention when they emerged from the mountains and jungle of Chiapas and
tookover several towns on New Years day in 1994. Since then the continued
support the Zapatistas have received is strongly based on the idea that
the Zapatistas are different. Different not just from the neoliberal world
order they oppose but, more fundamentally, different from the armed
revolutionary groups that exist and have existed elsewhere in the world.

Above all, the Zapatista uprising has inspired creativity and seized the
initiative. For years we have been told that 'there is no alternative',
that the market reigns supreme. The Zapatistas have begun to show that
there is an alternative, that those 'without a voice' can be heard and set
the agenda.

>From the southernmost state of Mexico, the multitude of voices shouting
"ya basta!" enough is enough! - have echoed far and wide. But who are the
Zapatista Army of National Liberation? What are we hearing? Why did so
many listen? What relevance do the indigenous people of Mexico have to
people living in the UK?

We hope that this talk will begin answering these questions.
