Summary

"The Zapatistas prolific stream of poetic political writings, tales, and traditional indigenous myths could fill volumes. The Speed of Dreams presents the best of these writings from the 2001-2007 period spanning from the Zapatistas historic march to the Mexican capital in 2001, to the current phase of the "Other campaign" in the summer of 2007. The Speed of Dreams is the long-awaited follow-up to Our Word is Our Weapon, which Publishers Weekly described "as strong as dignity and as subtle as love" and the San Francisco Bay Guardian heralded "a literary masterpiece.""--book jacket.
