When they don't have anything to eat, children in Haiti mix a little grain with mud and try to swallow the "pie" just so their bellies have something to stop the ache. Impoverished Haiti sits underneath the United States, and the two worlds never cease to find the other fascinating.

Melancholic Troglodytes

No other group has had such a catalysing influence on the new political forms and tactics espoused by the anti-globalisation movement, yet there has been too little critical analysis of the Zapatistas' politics and the relationship of western activists to their guerilla icons.
