However, when 11,000 Loyalists invaded unceded Wəlastəkwey territory after the American Revolution, and the influential Judge Isaac Allen purchased Ekwpahak in a highly questionable dealing, the Wəlastəkokewiyik were deprived of their land, with some forced to settle a few miles upriver at Kingsclear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this long-awaited volume, Andrea Bear Nicholas assembles Oral Traditions, archival documents, paintings, maps, and photographs to document the history of the Kingsclear First Nation community, from its establishment in the late-18th century to the disastrous mid-20th century attempt to centralize the Wəlastəkwey Nation at Kingsclear. These documents demonstrate the destructive impact of colonialism upon the Wəlastəkokewiyik, from their dispossession by Loyalists and the establishment of the Sussex Vale Indian School in the late 18th century, to the increasing restrictions on traditional life that both impoverished and oppressed them. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"section-book-copy-title\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section-book-copy-block\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrea Bear Nicholas\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Wəlastəkwew (Maliseet) from Nekwətkok (Tobique First Nation) and Professor Emerita at St. Thomas University, where she held the Chair in Native Studies for twenty years and developed the first university-based Indigenous Language Immersion Teacher Training Program in North America.

The effects of the Zapatista uprising were profound and would be felt beyond the borders of Mexico. At a time when state-sponsored socialism had all but vanished and other elements of the left appeared defeated in the face of neoliberalism’s ascendancy, the Zapatista uprising sparked a powerful new wave of transnational socio-political action. In exploring the movement’s origins, history, structure, aims, political philosophy and possible new directions, Alex Khasnabish provides a critical and comprehensive overview of one of the most important rebel groups in recent history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlex Khasnabish\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, researcher and teacher committed to collective liberation living in Halifax, on unceded and unsurrendered Mi’kmaw territory.

It tells the story of the Zapatista insurgency, including the contemporary breadth and depth of their territorial autonomy, tracing how an Indigenous uprising burst forth from southern Mexico’s Lacandon Jungle to stage the 21st century’s first and most electrifying example of autonomy in action. The book provides a succinct history of the Zapatistas while analyzing their unique political thought as an amalgam of influences from Mayan cosmovision and languages, the Mexican Revolution, Latin American revolutionary thought, Marxism and anarchism. The authors trace the movement from its clandestine origins to the 1994 uprising and failed negotiations with the Mexican government, through the development of their unique form of grassroots autonomy and self-government — all the while fending off the violence of the state. The book offers an original analysis of Zapatista political theory, attending to the prominent role of women, their practice of social autonomy and experiments in education, self-government and alternative economic development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Authors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLia Pinheiro Barbosa\u003c\/strong\u003e is an activist and professor of sociology at the State University of Ceará (UECE) based in Fortaleza, Brazil.  She has written extensively on the Zapatistas in Mexico and the MST (Landless Workers Movement) in Brazil, including her book Educación, resistencia y movimientos sociales: la praxis educativo-política de los Sin Tierra y de los Zapatistas (Education, Resistance, and Social Movements: The Educational-Political Praxis of the MST and the Zapatistas) published in 2015 by the UNAM Press in Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter M.
