Join us as we continue our discussion of Jérôme Baschet’s The Zapatista Experience: Rebellion, Resistance, and Autonomy.
The Zapatista Experience examines the practical reality of the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico, focusing on how they have constructed a society independent of the state. Baschet explores the creation of autonomous systems of justice, health, and education. The text invites us to look at a living example of radical democracy and to consider the possibilities of self-governance in the face of global capitalism.
We’ll be exploring how these practices of autonomy and dignity can inform our own political imagination today.
All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey, join us to read, discuss, and imagine a freer world together.
