"This is a collection of essays, stories and moments written during time recently spent in Chiapas, Tlaxcala and Mexico City. Some of the stories are from meetings with various groups in these places that are fighting for dignity and autonomy, others are from years ago-resistence in Oaxaca and wanderings towards the border"--Introduction.
