"Emiliano Zapata was born in the state of Morelos exactly one hundred years ago; he was murdered just sixty years ago. Zapata has been described as a bandit--the greatest outlaw known to the Western Hemisphere--as well as the 'purest embodiment' of the Mexican Revolution. Who, and what, was Zapata? This short book attempts briefly to describe what Emiliano Zapata aimed to achieve--and just how much he and his companeros actually did achieve, in Morelos and southern Mexico, between 1910 and 1920. It also includes a short account of the evolution of the ejidos and common lands of that country."--

The Mexican Revolution was a brutal civil war fought between 1910 and 1920. The war pitted the rich against the poor and the landless against the landowners. During ten years of fighting some 1 million and perhaps as many as 2 million people were killed. The Revolution left deep scars in the Mexican soul, but it gave the people their greatest hero in modern times: Emiliano Zapata. A peasant leader, Zapata fought for the rights of his people and never sought personal gain. He led the landless farmers of southern Mexico in their struggle against powerful landowners. The battle cry of Zapata's army was simple and forceful "Land and Liberty!" Zapata was killed late in the war. But decades after his death the peasants of the south, who believed Zapata to be immortal, claimed they still saw him. Around their huts the impoverished farmers would gather and talk in hushed tones "Yes, I saw him last night. I saw our Emiliano. He was riding alone." Book jacket.

A stirring, authoritative account of the Mexican Revolution, told through the lives of its infamous rebel-outlaws: Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata Villa and Zapata vividly chronicles the decade of bloody events that followed the eruption of the Mexican Revolution in 1910 and made legends of the rebels Francisco "Pancho" Villa and Emiliano Zapata. Mexico's was the first massive social revolution of the twentieth century, visiting economic, cultural, and racial strife on a country already exploited by oppressive officials and crippled by poverty, but also offering hope to its people. The ruthless Villa and his army of ex-cowboys in the north and Zapata, recruiting his infantry from the sugar plantations of the south, successfully waged a devastating war on two fronts and brought down a string of autocrats in Mexico City. But the two men failed to make common cause and ultimately fell victim to intrigues more treacherous than their own.

This comprehensive two-volume history of the Mexican Revolution presents a new interpretation of one of the world's most important revolutions.

*Includes pictures *Includes Zapata's quotes and descriptions of his life and career *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." - Emiliano Zapata A little more than 100 years ago a Mexican peasant named Emiliano Zapata gathered a rural army from the plantations and villages of southern Mexico, seized the lands of the haciendas, and began to distribute them among the peasants of Anenecuilco, his hometown, in the state of Morelos. Outraged and impatient with the ceaseless destitution of the indigenous peoples at the hands of the landowners, he had decided to take justice in his hands. His flag was Liberty and Justice, the exact opposites of the two burdens that had tyrannized the rural population: work in semi-slavery conditions and immense inequality. Zapata, who in a few years assembled a popular army of 25,000, was a unique case in the history of Mexico. His country's past had consisted of opportunist generals revolting against the government seeking not to make justice, but to seize power. Conversely, Zapata was not interested in politics or power plays, except in their most practical and immediate form: to distribute land among the peasants; to allow them to work in peace; and to defend their gains by force of arms. Thus, it was only inevitable that in his time, he was seen as a menace, someone to get rid of in order to return to peace and order. Nearly a century after his death, Zapata remains an opaque figure. To call oneself a Zapatista in Mexico can get a person in trouble, yet he led one of the peasant rebellions most studied by scholars. Historians have produced biographies that portray him as a hero, such as John Womack in the 1960s, and that of his successor and closest aide, Gildardo Magana, who wrote one shortly after Zapata's death. More meticulous books have appeared in recent past, like the one by Samuel Brunk, who concedes that the press may have exaggerated Zapata's exploits, but not completely. Despite the debates, the caudillo of the south continues to shine for his clarity of principles and intransigence, his refusal to compromise with the powerful, and his refusal to be a subordinate. He remained faithful to the death in his struggle for the oppressed, and he always despised power. On those grounds, although surely it was never his intention, Zapata became an international symbol, and as a result, many Mexicans have chosen to remember him as one of the noblest, most honest and bravest figures in their nation's history. Emiliano Zapata: The Life and Legacy of the Mexican Revolution's Iconic Leader chronicles the life of one of Mexico's most legendary figures. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Emiliano Zapata like never before, in no time at all.
