Zapatista Anticapitalist Politics and the "Other Campaign"

Learning from the Struggle for Indigenous Rights and Autonomy

state of Chiapas, Mexico

Zapatista indigenous autonomy offers new political road maps that chart courses through a complex and contradictory terrain marked by a rearticulation of neoliberal hegemonic forces and a legacy of left politics of recognition positioned between mestizaje ideologies and Indianist discourses. The emerging cartography locates practices of resistance to the political-economic and the cultural logics of late capitalism in the ways in which autonomy links political identity claims to self-governing practices and to struggles for resource redistribution. Similarly, it critiques the ethnic-racialized ordering of society by unmasking the way biological and cultural traits work interchangeably to define dominant constructs of indigenous subjectivity.

Key Words: Zapatismo • Indigenous autonomy • Anticapitalist struggles
