This course will study the Zapatista Rebellion in Chiapas, Mexico, 1994--2010. Out of what processes and conditions did it grow, with what actions and imaginaries on the part of indigenous activists and communities, as well as their allies and opponents? Studying one major historical event in depth will enable us to consider different ways of seeing and interpreting the event and to consider what it means to undertake wide-ranging social inquiry. Effective Fall 2023, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas Digital/Multimedia Expression, Social Inquiry I, Critical Thinking.
