The Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca

A Chronicle of Radical Democracy

Gustavo Esteva

Oaxaca, Mexico, Universidad de la Tierra, Centro de Encuentros y Diálogos Interculturales (CEDI), Oaxaca City

The Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca—APPO) grew out of the violent repression of a teachers’ strike in Oaxaca during the late spring of 2006. This chronicle is a description from inside, by a participant, of APPO’s process of decision making and increasingly popular representation of citizens’ discontent with federal and Oaxacan state authorities during the critical months from August 2006 to the violent confrontations with federal police and the military in late October and early November 2006.

Key Words: Oaxaca 2006 rebellion • autonomy movements • radical democracy • social movements • mexican politics
