Among the books on display at the recent ALAS meeting in Mexico was a
three-volume work titled "La Teoria Social Latinoamericana." The series
is coordinated by Ray Mauro Marini and Margara Millan. The third volume
in the series is "La centralidad del marxismo (1995, UNAM).

There is also a new journalistic account on the EZLN that has been
getting a lot of attention, and apparently some critcism from supporters
of the movement as well as praise from those who see it as a thorough and
objective description of the genesis and evolution of the Zapatistas.
The book is "La Revolucion de las Can~adas" by Carlos Tello Diaz (Cal y
Arena, 1995).
