“Harvey’s study offers specific and broad perspectives on the ancient struggle for land and democracy on the fringe of Mexico’s political struggles. This valuable book deserves to be widely read.” — Thomas Schoonover, University of Southwestern Louisiana
“In Neil Harvey we are fortunate to have a guide to the growth of political consciousness and region-wide opposition organizations in rural Chiapas who began studying both almost a decade before the 1994 uprising. The Chiapas Rebellion is simply the best account in any language of what has been called ‘the steady accumulation in silence’ of forces leading up to the Zapatista movement.” — Jan Rus, Instituto de Asesoría Antropológica para la Región Maya
“No scholar has penetrated the peasant movements of southeastern Mexico like Neil Harvey. His remarkable access permitted careful, detailed, and fair reporting, description, and analysis.” — Thomas Benjamin, Central Michigan University
