• Resumen

  • This essay suggests to reflect on the polarization of opinions in post-zapatist Chiapas and the fear that hinders us to reject something without involving us with what this something rejects. The generalization of violence in Chiapas, the mediatic and postmodern novelty of the discourses coming from the EZLN, the controversial figure of subcomandante Marcos and the romantic interpretation of this revolution by many Europeans are among the arguments that have led some Mexican and foreign intelectuals to tackle about the new idealization of indian's life that Zapatism presumably is contributing to. Perhaps at the cost of oblivion of the most basic: The situation of misery, racism, and discrimination which has turned Chiapas into an extension of neighboring Guatemala and which is the principal reason for the revolt.
