This ambitious book offers radical alternatives to conventional ways of thinking about the planets most pressing challenges, ranging from alienation and exploitation to state violence and environmental injustice.



Bridging real-world examples of resistance and mutual aid in Zapatista territory with big-picture concepts like critical consciousness, social reproduction and decolonisation, the authors encourage readers to view themselves as co-creators of the societies they are a part of and be Zapatistas wherever they are'.



Written by a diverse team of first-generation authors, this book offers an emancipatory set of anti-colonial ideas related to both refusing liberal bystanding and collectively constructing better worlds and realities.
