The Speed of Dreams Selected Writings 2001-2007

The literary and poetic genius of Latin America’s greatest living writer/rebel. Since the publication of Our Word is Our Weapon – which Publishers Weekly described “as strong as dignity and as subtle as love” – Mexico’s enigmatic Zapatista leader has written some of his most brilliant and complex works. From a retelling of indigenous myths and legends, to visions of the future of Mexico, from searing critiques of the U.S. war in Iraq, to clandestine radio broadcasts from the jungles of Chiapas, here is an amazing selection of writing that gives voice to the literary and poetic genius of Latin America's greatest living writer/rebel. Subcomandante Marcos is a spokesperson and strategist for the Zapatistas.
