Book Event! Teaching Rebellion: Stories from the Grassroots Mobilization in Oaxaca

This is a chance to listen directly to those invested in and affected by what quickly became one of the most important social uprisings of the 21st century.

Teaching Rebellion is a new book designed as a teaching tool, and tonight at the Bike Church some of the people who participated in and documented the 2006 uprising in Oaxaca will be presenting on the lessons learned for all of us.

Peter Gelderloos says, in his review, "The result is Teaching Rebellion, a vital oral history for the English-speaking world. Included are the voices of neighbors who met at the barricades, artists painting revolution on the walls or reclaiming indigenous traditions, women taking over a TV station, striking teachers, torture survivors, political prisoners, grandmothers and children."
