This essential volume recalls the activities of Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919), a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution; he formed and commanded an important revolutionary force during this conflict. Womack focuses attention on Zapata's activities and his home state of Morelos during the Revolution. Zapata quickly rose from his position as a peasant leader in a village seeking agrarian reform. Zapata's dedication to the cause of land rights made him a hero to the people. Womack describes the contributing factors and conditions preceding the Mexican Revolution, creating a narrative that examines political and agrarian transformations on local and national levels.

As someone that is not that familiar with either Zapata or the Mexican Revolution, I found this book a bit overwhelming! There is so much information that it was a real challenge for me to keep track of the names, dates, and places being discussed. The book has definitely inspired me to want to read more about Zapata and the Zapatistas.
I know, I know — this review is terrible! But I feel like I need to read more about Zapata and the Mexican Revolution before I can write more in depth about this subject ( )
