This post is dedicated to my son who travelled extensively in Chiapas. Although some of his experiences brought knots to my stomach, many were quite charming.
Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state, is the territory of the Zapatistas, an indigenous insurgent movement with an emphasis on ethnicity. The women weave and embroidery to help subsidize the community.
