Abstract

This article is about the Zapatista’s ongoing struggle for resistance and autonomy. We show in what sense the stories written by Subcommander Marcos of the EZLN have not been written only for children or for the indigenous in Chiapas (or anywhere else in Mexico), but for those individuals whose history has the age of the modern state. We propose that the movement’s latest initiative, “La libertad según las zapatistas,” should be discussed alongside the EZLN’s previous literary production of children’s literature, and has contributed in the formation of a new kind of subject: “the new children of resistance.”
