Carlos Montemayor was een veelzijdige Mexicaanse literaire figuur, bekend om zijn romans, poëzie en essays. Naast zijn creatieve schrijven was hij ook actief als tenor, politiek analist en een toegewijde voorstander van hedendaagse literatuur in inheemse talen. Zijn lidmaatschap van de Mexicaanse Taalacademie onderstreept zijn belangrijke bijdrage aan de Mexicaanse letteren. Montemayors werk verkende consequent diepgaande sociale kwesties en het rijke culturele erfgoed van Mexico.

Chiapas Fully updated edition with new appendices. This book studies the origin, development, and public appearance of the most important Mexican guerilla movement of the past few years: the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas. It illustrates the movement's ties to other armed groups as well as its peculiarities: unlike the armed groups of the 1970s and 80s, the Zapatista National Liberation Army is mostly comprised of radicalized indigenous movements that have taken up arms after living in poverty since ancestral times. The author explores official documents, journalistic articles, and other sources. He examines the development of the conflict from January 1994 to 1998, as well as the actions taken by the federal government, the Zapatistas, and civil society. This is a useful reference tool written by one of the most prominent specialists in this subject. "Indeed, during the past 500 years, indigenous peoples of the Americas as a whole have been exterminated, persecuted, exploited and humiliated; whenever they have survived, they have known an abominable existence." Ignacio Ramonet
