I am currently in the Zapitista reader. I have selected the Zapitista's for the centre of my study for World Politics course! Aboriginal rights it is.

The Zapatista Reader is excellent.

With my reading of 'The Wheel of Time' series (damn Jordan and his 10 books at 800 pages each run!!) I have put aside nonfiction. And my IS topic has shifted to extremism as a result (those damn crazy whitecloaks!). What I have read so far is amazing I must say.

[praxis1966]

I recommend Basta! Land and the Zapatista Rebellion in Chiapas (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/093502879X/qid=1051502763/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_1/103-9915694-9750268).

For a biography on the man himself, I recommend
"Zapata and the Mexican Revolution" by John Womack, Jr.

[captainjustice]

Everyone must read Shadows of Tender Fury. A collection of Marcos's writings. I even got my mom to read it

[Legends]

This is the one I will be getting

Villa and Zapata: A Biography of the Mexican Revolution
Frank McLynn

Here is the review a customer gave on amazon

The Mexican revolution is an unusual tale that sadly never gets told. This book aims to tell the story focusing on its main heros Zapata and Villa. The book however is not a biography of those two people it simply explains there role in the revolution remaining both admant and critical. The book also follows the story behind other important people such as Obregon and Diaz giving a thorough and chronological account of the origins and aftermath of the revolution whilst giving a vivid picture of the actual revolution. It reads almost like a western and makes clear the revolution in both historical and ideological terms. A must for understanding modern mexico.

[Danton]

I have it.....Read it last year, I think I also put it on the suggestions list. Good choice, it is nothing if not thorough. Filled with personal and historical info on Diaz, Zapata, Villa, Obregon and many other players and the historical context in which these many battles, personal and otherwise took place, also the social conditions of the time.
I can't recall specifics but it was a bloody good book and I'm sure it'll get your revolutionary juices flowing...
