4-SESSION CLASS BEGINS
Zapatismo in the US & the World
RJ Maccani
Since their January 1st, 1994 armed uprising in Southeastern Mexico, the
zapatistas have consistently reached out to people from around the world
to join them in building a global network “for humanity and against
neoliberalism." This network is sometimes referred to as the
"Intergalactic"...
Whether you feel like you know a lot or just a little about the
zapatistas, this class is designed to meet each participants needs AND
ENGAGE ALL in a meaningful exploration of what it means to fight for a
better world in these times.
We will explore the following questions:
I) What is the Fourth World War and what does it mean for how we struggle
today?
II) What is the zapatistas' Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle?
- What has happened since its release in the summer of 2005?
- How do its initiatives for transnational (Other Campaign) and global
(Zezta Internazional) coordination compare to other processes, such as the
World Social Forum?
III) What are OUR analyses of the zapatistas' Fourth World War framework,
their Sixth Declaration and the initiatives that have followed... and how
do we relate to them?
This class will be facilitated by RJ Maccani, an organizer with
Regeneración Childcare NYC and author of the blog "Zapagringo.com", who will
be joined by guest presenters.
