(Español) 30 libros / 30 años del levantamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional – Colección Al Faro Zapatista
Sentipensar el legado del movimiento zapatista
1 de enero de 1994 – 1 de enero de 2024
30 libros – 30 años
El Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (Clacso), en conjunto con la Cooperativa Editorial Retos, la Cátedra Jorge Alonso y el Centro Universitario de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades de la Universidad de Guadalajara, conmemoran los 30 años del levantamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional con la publicación de 30 libros de bolsillo en el marco de la Colección Al Faro Zapatista.
Esta serie de 30 libros es un homenaje a las mujeres, niñas(os), ancianas(os), otroas y hombres zapatistas en sus más de 500 años de resistencia y sus 30 años de vida pública rebelde desde el levantamiento del 1 de enero de 1994.
La iniciativa fue impulsada por el Grupo de Trabajo CLACSO «Cuerpos, territorios, resistencias» y más de medio centenar de trabajadorxs de las Ciencias Sociales, activadas activistas de México, América Latina, E.U., Europa Insumisa y Asia. Los libros muestran por qué, dónde y cómo el zapatismo ha sido el faro para muchos y muchas habitantes del planeta Tierra. Un faro en medio de La Tormenta provocada por lo que en 2017 las mujeres zapatistas nombraron como el “sistema capitalista machista y patriarcal”, alimentada por el racismo y la “cisheteronormatividad”, como le llaman las diversidades sexuales en movimiento y re-existencia.
La colección se encuentra disponible para su descarga gratutita en acceso abierto a través de la Librería Latinomericana y Caribeña de Ciencias Sociales de CLACSO, en la sección Producción editorial de los Centros CLACSO.
