The Zapatista rebellion has become a reference and source of inspiration for many struggles around the world due to its major contribution in reformulating a credible and desirable path to emancipation, a path that broke with previously dominant conceptions: state-centric, productivist, Eurocentric, modernist, and patriarchal. Baschet demonstrates how the Zapatistas have succeeded in materializing, on a massive scale, the concrete experience of another way of living, a forerunner of possible emerging worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe autonomous rebel territories of Chiapas are among the most developed and radical of the \"real utopias\" that exist in the world today, exceptional in their experiments in self-governance and anti-State political form, argues Jérôme Baschet. \u003ci\u003eThe Zapatista Experience\u003c\/i\u003e orients readers in the profusion of Zapatista writings concerning, for example, the elaboration of a different understanding of politics, the Zapatistas' planetary conjunctural analysis of capitalism as a total war against humanity, their conception of Indigeneity that breaks with both modernist individualism and identity politics, and their notion of time and history. All this in clear opposition to neoliberal capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJérôme Baschet\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian teaching at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris and the Universidad Autonoma de Chiapas in San Cristóbal de las Casas.
