I hear that subcommandante has published some childrens books. How did you like this book?

I loved it. I have always liked and supported the EZLN though , maybe that had something to do with it. But I don't think so. It was extremely interesting and intelligently written and even funny. Of course I wouldn't expect anything less from him, after hearing his speeches. It has a lot of essays and stuff and facts, It was great.Most books I read like this aren't all that long 100-200 pages it seems.This was about 700. So its jam packed with info and stories and essays.

I know he wrote a kids book called The History Of Colors. I'm not sure what it is about exactly though.
The Story of Colors / La Historia de los Colores - A Bilingual Folktale from the Jungles of Chiapas - by Subcomandante Marcos | Cinco Puntos Press | Independent Book Publisher
guessing it's hard to find.

There is a lot of great resources on the EZLN on the net. Thing have died down considerably though, I think the Mexican government has larger problems on their hands now, especially with their efforts to stop the drug trade. I hope Chiapas is now seeing some much needed peace and economic growth.

 

[Disenthral]

I think they are.Even though i think CAFTA screwed a lot of indigenous people. Not that id say they died down. I would say the government did. The EZLN is still just as prepared to fight back in a second. But i think after that first kind of big fight they had, they realized the mexican army couldn't fight against their jungle warfare. I also heard Marcos may write a book on Israel and whats going on over there.......who knows.

Yea speaking of mexican drug trade, have you seen that house they raided? crazyyyy
MEXICAN DRUG LORD'S HOME AFTER BEING RAIDED
maybe this should have its own thread, but i figured everyone has seen it.
