Kuxlejal Politics is a most eloquent testimony to the dynamic Zapatista struggle and to what an engaged academy can do when it genuinely walks along the paths of subaltern groups intent on defending their worlds. By theorizing and embodying a farsighted vision of decolonized and decolonizing research, Mora renews our commitment to the idea that another academy is possible and practicable. This work is a gift to us all by one of the most inventive exponents of Mexican anthropology at present, in the best tradition of Latin American critical thought.

This book shows in meticulous detail how the Zapatista movement responds to deep-rooted forms of oppression inflicted on colonized peoples. It reveals, in particular, how women gain agency under the collective decision-making practices of mandar obedeciendo, a pedagogical component of self-governance, spurred by differences of race, class, age, and gender, allowing the community to defend itself through a morality based on cooperation and collaboration.
