Zapata ve Meksika Devrimi

This important social history work written by John Womack focuses on the Mexican Revolution and specifically the peasant uprisings in the state of Morelos in 1914 under the leadership of Emiliano Zapata. Unlike his ally and close friend in the north, Pancho Villa, Zapata was neither a poor farmer nor a bandit. If he wanted, he could spend his life as a minor nobleman in the state where he lived. However, he chose to lead the revolutionary movement in the South and develop an agricultural reform that is taken as an example even today. He took the lead of the peasants who revolted against the rapidly developing capitalist agricultural enterprises, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the transfer of lands that had belonged to the local people until then to these enterprises. General Zapata enters the capital, Mexico City, as a victorious commander in 1914, but his goal is not power. In addition to being a detailed Mexican history, revolution and Zapata book, this work is also the product of a passion, a love, and dedication to a cause, with both its author and the main character it describes. John Womack's meticulously documented and riveting narrative is an indispensable resource for understanding the historical significance and legacy of Emiliano Zapata and what he means today to Mexican peasants and the Zapatista movement named after him.
