Rights in Rebellion: Indigenous Struggle and Human Rights in Chiapas

Rights in Rebellion is a groundbreaking book that delves into the complex relationship between human rights and indigenous rights in the context of Chiapas, Mexico.

Through a multi-sited ethnography, the author explores how different groups engage with the discourse of rights, adapting it to their individual subjectivities and goals, and developing new forms of resistance to neoliberalism.

This book is not just an academic study but an activist's call to action, passionately arguing for a critical engagement between anthropologists and their "subjects." With a decade of experience in Chiapas, the author provides a stimulating and highly readable overview of the challenges of promoting universal human rights in a local context of civil war and indigenous struggle.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human rights and indigenous rights in the global south.
