Placing this book in the context of NAFTA and Mexican movements for social change, journalist and historian Dan La Botz unveils the forces behind Marcos and the Zapatista Rebellion of January 1994 and re-examines the circumstances surrounding the assasination of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio. Contains a detailed analysis of how Ernesto Zedillo and the PRI won the August 21, 1994 elections and includes an examination of widespread electoral fraud. La Botz provides a first-hand account of the founding of National Democratic Converntion (CND), the new force for democracy and social justice in Mexico led by Rosario Ibarra. Ibarra is Mexico's leading human rights activist and first woman presidential candidate.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

When Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, opposition leader and son of one of Mexico's most beloved presidents, hit the 1988 presidential campaign trail, it was not unusual for messages like this to be pressed into his hand: "I am ready to take up arms whenever you say, Mr. Cardenas. My family is very poor, and we are prepared to fight for you." Adds LaBotz, "The revolution never ends in the Mexican countryside." Despite the turgid title, Democracy in Mexico is a timely, lucid and readable look at why Mexico is in the fix it is today, shaken by assassinations, threatened by rural rebellion and whirling down the economic toilet. Author LaBotz (Edward L. Doheny: Petroleum, Power and Politics in the United States and Mexico) traces the development of the Mexican political system from the Mexican Revolution to the Chiapas Rebellion, making special effort to explain the development of the one-party system and why so many Mexicans remain mired in hopeless poverty. Where he falls short is in finding a real alternative to the entrenched Institutional Revolutionary Party: a problem Mexican voters face at every election. LaBotz throws his support behind Cardenas and his dismally disorganized and backbiting, leftish party while brushing aside the more viable and increasingly popular conservative PAN (National Action Party). His politics are all too clear, to the detriment of readers looking for a balanced assessment of the Mexican situation. Nonetheless, this important book offers excellent insights into our neighbor and trading partner's painful journey down the twisting path that one day may actually lead to democracy.

Review

This presents the first comprehensive analysis of Mexico's post-NAFTA democratic struggles and realities, examining forces behind the Zapatista rebellion and tracing instances of peasant rebellion and political reform in Mexico. This packs in details on the struggle for justice in the country, examining the current affairs which trace the struggle. -- Midwest Book Review
