DESCRIPTION:1810-1910-2010 - WILL THE REVOLUTION COME AGAIN: 2010 will mark the 
 bicentennial of Mexico's war of liberation from Spain and the 100th 
 anniversary of the Mexican Revolution.  As the country plunges into the 
 most severe economic collapse since the Great Depression, President Felipe 
 Calderon will spend billions of pesos to celebrate the twin centennials, a 
 mistake dictator Porfirio Diaz made on the eve of the Mexican Revolution.  
 As it was a hundred years ago, social discontent is at fever pitch and some 
 are anticipating violent uprising in 2010. \n\n\nAward winning 
 journalist/poet/author/foremost chronicler of the Zapatista rebellion and 
 globe-trotting dissident John Ross is the author of ten books of fiction 
 and non-fiction and an equal number of poetry chapbooks, the most recent of 
 which is "Bomba!" (Calaca de Pelon, Mexico City.)  "Iraqigirl", a diary of 
 a teenager coming of age under U.S. occupation that Ross developed and 
 edited was published by Haymarket this July.  John Ross is the winner of 
 the American Civil Liberties Union's Upton Sinclair Prize (The "Uppie") for 
 his 2005 phantasmagorical autobiography "Murdered By Capitalism - 150 Years 
 of Life & Death On The American Left" and the 1995 American Book Award for 
 "Rebellion From the Roots", the first published account of the Zapatista 
 rebellion in Chiapas that the author has accompanied from its earliest hour 
 and about which he has written four books. His most recent work, "El 
 Monstruo," 
("The Monster") tells the sordid tale of Mexico City, the 
 most contaminated, corrupt, crime-ridden, and conflictive megalopolis in 
 the Americas, where Ross has lived for the past quarter of a century.  \n
