Book excerpt: Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Still reeling from the loss of his family in an accident that he feels responsible for causing, Hank Singer accepts an invitation to move to the isolated and beautiful state of Chiapas. There, in the streets and cafes of a colonial city nestled in the mountain forests, he settles into the semblance of a new life under the watchful eye of his best friend and former college roommate, César, the charismatic heir to one of Mexico's most powerful families. But when an army of impoverished Indians calling themselves Zapatistas emerges from the jungle to seize half the state, Hank finds himself a foreigner trapped in someone else's war. The repercussions of the decisions he makes--and does not make--threaten to shatter both his friendship and the renewed life he has found in the Mexican highlands. In the tradition of Graham Greene's The Quiet American and Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms, LET THE WATER HOLD ME DOWN weaves real historical events into a riveting personal narrative about a man who finds himself caught up in a political landscape beyond his control.

Book excerpt: Every year, millions of tourists scan the world for exotic locales where they can escape their own world and encounter the other. One such place is San Cristobal de las Casas, in Chiapas, Mexico, where you can observe German tourists struggling with chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant, to the accompaniment of pseudo-Chinese music played on an African thumb piano by a black American from San Francisco. While eating, diners may purchase bows and arrows from Lacandon Indians pushed out of their native forests by the hum of chain-saws and advancing herds of Brahman cattle. San Cristobal is one of the frontiers of ethnic tourism where the privileged, moneyed, and leisured meet the poor, struggling, and exotic. Pierre van den Berghe, who first visited San Cristobal in 1959, found that between his visits in 1977 and 1987 the town had moved from seeing a small daily volume of mostly back-pack tourists to accommodating a daily flow of hundreds of tourists of all descriptions. He decided to investigate the impact of tourism in the area, and the result is the first study of its kind dealing with Mexico, as well as the first book-length study of ethnic tourism - tourism motivated by an active search for the "ethnically exotic". Van den Berghe skillfully combines interviews, statistics, observation, and analysis to produce a vivid and insightful picture of the interaction between tourists, the indigenous Maya population, and the ladinos who act as the middlemen between the other two groups. The Quest for the Other contains many implications for tourism policy, both specifying the conditions of success and warning of potential dangers. San Cristobal is, in many ways, a best-case scenario. Almosteveryone is better off, if only marginally, through the development of tourism. "Ethnic tourism", writes the author, "not only debases and destroys what it touches, it also renews and transforms it in profoundly creative ways. The staged authenticity of tourist shows can sometimes become the authentic stage of a cultural revival. At the very least, one should suspend negative value judgments as to the impact of tourism on indigenous cultures".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yielding pivotal new perspectives on the indigenous women of Mexico, Dissident Women: Gender and Cultural Politics in Chiapas presents a diverse collection of voices exploring the human rights and gender issues that gained international attention after the first public appearance of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN) in 1994. Drawing from studies on topics ranging from the daily life of Zapatista women to the effect of transnational indigenous women in tipping geopolitical scales, the contributors explore both the personal and global implications of indigenous women's activism. The Zapatista movement and the Women's Revolutionary Law, a charter that came to have tremendous symbolic importance for thousands of indigenous women, created the potential for renegotiating gender roles in Zapatista communities. Drawing on the original research of scholars with long-term field experience in a range of Mayan communities in Chiapas and featuring several key documents written by indigenous women articulating their vision, Dissident Women brings fresh insight to the revolutionary crossroads at which Chiapas stands—and to the worldwide implications of this economic and political microcosm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigel Harris’s Selected Essays: From National Liberation to Globalisation presents an encompassing overview of the work of one of the most prolific and insightful Marxist economists of the second half of the twentieth century. It starts off with a new interview in which Harris reflects on the development of his thought over the more than half a century separating the death of Stalin from the latest developments in globalisation and capitalist restructuring. The collected essays deal with topics ranging from imperialism and the state to the political economy of development and migration, and offer an ample selection from Harris’s political journalism. Together the work constitutes at once a personal journey through the history of the British revolutionary left and a trenchant commentary on some of the most fundamental problems facing a renewed Marxist theory.
