As the Rebel Year
Turns
Zapatista
Women Encounter Themselves
By JOHN ROSS
La Garrucha, Chiapas.
Dozens of Zapatista companeras, many
of them Tzeltal Maya from the Chiapas lowlands decked out in
rainbow-hued ribbons and ruffles, their dark eyes framed by "pasamontanas"
and "paliacates" that masked their personas, emerged
from the rustic auditorium to the applause of hundreds of international
feminists gathered outside at the conclusion of the opening session
of an all-women's "Encuentro" hosted by the Zapatista
Army of National Liberation (EZLN) here at year's end.
The Tzeltaleras' line of march
which resembled a colorful if bizarre fashion parade, seemed
an auspicious start to the rebels' third "encounter"
this year between "the peoples of the world" and the
Zapatista communities and comandantes - an anti-globalization
conclave last December and an "Encuentro" in defense
of indigenous land this summer preceded the womens' gathering.
Although the call for the event
was issued under the pen of the EZLN's quixotic spokesperson
Subcomandante Marcos, the author of a recently published erotic
coffee table book in which his penis plays the role of a masked
guerrillero, the impetus for the women's "Encuentro"
sprung from the loins of the Zapatista companeras.
Last July, at the conclusion
of a meeting with farmers from a dozen counties in the hamlet
with the haunting name of La Realidad ("The Reality"),
a young rebel from that community, "Evarilda", apparently
without clearing the invitation with the EZLN's General Command,
called for the all-womens' encounter, explaining that men were
invited to help with the logistics but would be asked to stay
home and mind the children and the farm animals while the women
plotted against capitalism.
True to Evarilda's word, at
the December 29th-31st gathering which drew 300-500 non-Mexican
mostly women activists to this village, officially the autonomous
municipality of Francisco Gomez, and which honored the memory
of the late Comandanta Ramona (d. January 2006), men took a decidedly
secondary role. Signs posted around the "Caracol"
called "Resistance Until the New Dawn", a sort of Zapatista
cultural/political center, advised the companeros that they could
not act as "spokespersons, translators, or representatives
in the plenary sessions." Instead, their activities should
be confined "to preparing and serving food, washing dishes,
sweeping, cleaning out the latrines, fetching firewood, and minding
the children."
Indeed, some young Zapatista
men donned aprons imprinted with legends like "tomato"
and "EZLN" to work in the kitchens. Meanwhile, older
men sat quietly on wooden benches outside of the auditorium,
sometimes signaling amongst themselves when a companera made
a strong point or smiling in pride after a daughter or wife or
sister or mother spoke their histories to the assembly.
The role of women within the
Zapatista structure has been crucial since the rebellion's gestation.
When the founders of the EZLN, radicals from northern Mexican
cities, first arrived in the Tzeltal-Tojolabal lowlands or "Canadas"
of southeastern Chiapas, women were still being sold by their
families as chattel in marriage. Often, they were kept monolingual
by the husbands as a means of control, turned into baby factories,
and had little standing in the community. Those from the outside
offered independence and invited the young women to the training
camps in the mountain where they would learn to wield a weapon
and a smattering of Spanish and become a part of the EZLN's fighting
force. 14 years ago, on January 1st 1994, when the Zapatistas
seized the cities of San Cristobal and Ocosingo and five other
county seats, women comprised a third of the rebel army - women
fighters were martyred in the bloody battle for Ocosingo.
Key to bringing the companeras
to the rebel cause was "The Revolutionary Law of Women",
officially promulgated that first January 1st from the balcony
of the San Cristobal city hall which decreed that women should
have control over their own lives and their bodies. The law,
which had been carried into the Indian communities by Comandantas
Susana and Ramona, often meeting with hostility from the companeros,
was "our toughest battle" Sub Marcos would later note.
Integrating women into the
military structure, which was not tied to local community, proved
easier than cultivating participation in the civil structure,
which was rooted in the life of the villages. Although women
occupied five seats on the 19-member Clandestine Revolutionary
Indigenous Committee (CCRI), the EZLN's General Command, their
numbers fell far shorter in 29 autonomous municipal councils
and the five "Juntas de Buen Gobierno" ("Good
Government Committees") which administrate Zapatista regional
autonomy.
But as the Zapatista social
infrastructure grew, women became health and education promoters
and leaders in the commissions that planned these campaigns and
their profile has improved in the JBGs and autonomias.
Women's Lib a la Zapatista
has been boosted by the rebels' prohibitions against the consumption
of alcohol in their communities. Whereas many inland Maya towns
like San Juan Chamula are saturated in alcohol with soaring rates
of spousal and child abuse, the Zapatista zone has the lowest
abuse indicators in the state, according to numbers offered by
the womens' commission of the Chiapas state congress. As a state,
Chiapas has one of the highest numbers of feminicides in the
Mexican union - 1456 women were murdered here between 1993 and
2004, more than doubling Chihuahua (604) in which the notorious
"Muertas" of Ciudad Juarez are recorded. The low incidence
of violence against women in the zone of Zapatista influence
is more remarkable because much of the lowland rebel territory
straddles the Guatemalan border, a country where 500 women are
murdered each year.
With the men tending the kids
and cleaning latrines, the women told their stories in the plenaries.
Many of the younger companeras like Evarilda had grown up in
the rebellion - which is now in its 24th year (14 on public display)
- and spoke of learning to read and write in rebel schools and
their work as social promoters or as teachers or as farmers and
mothers. Zapatista grandmothers told of the first years of the
rebellion and veteran comandantas like Susana, who spoke movingly
of her longtime companera Ramona, "the smallest of the small",
recalled how in the war, the men and the women learned to share
housekeeping tasks like cooking and washing clothes.
"Many of the companeros
still do not want to understand our demands," Comandanta
Sandra admonished, "but we cannot struggle against the mal
gobierno without them."
The Zapatista companeras' struggle
for inclusion and parity with their male counterparts grates
against separatist politics that some militant first-world feminists
who journeyed to the jungle espouse. Lesbian couples and collectives
seemed a substantial faction in the first-world feminist delegations.
Although no Zapatista women has publicly come out, the EZLN
has been zealous in its inclusion of Lesbians and Gays and incorporate
their struggles in the rainbow of marginated constitutioncies
with whose cause they align themselves.
Sadly, the Encuentro of the
Women of the World with the Zapatista Women did not provoke much
formal interchange between the rebel companeras and first-world
feminists - who were limited to five-minute presentations on
the final day of the event. Nonetheless, a surprise Zapatista
womens' theater piece did imply a critique: in the skit, a planeload
of first-world feminists with funny hair (played by the companeras)
lands in the jungle to deliver the poor Indian women from oppression.
Among international delegations
in attendance were women representatives from agrarian movements
as far removed from Chiapas as Brazil and Senegal, organized
by Via Campesina, an alliance that represents millions of poor
farmers in the third world, and a group of militant women from
Venice, Italy who have been battling expansion of a U.S. military
base in that historic city. Political prisoners were represented
by Trinidad Ramirez, partner of imprisoned Ignacio del Valle
(67 year sentence), leader of the farmers of Atenco. A message
from "Colonel Aurora" (Gloria Arenas), a jailed leader
of the Popular Army of the Insurgent People (ERPI), who now supports
the EZLN, was read. Although he reputedly lives only a few villages
away, Subcomandante Marcos (or his penis) did not put in an appearance
at the womens' gathering.
Ladling out chicken soup at
her makeshift food stand, Dona Laura told La Jornada chronicler
Hermann Bellinghausen that once the womens' "Encuentro"
had concluded, everything would return to normal - "only
normal would be different now."
Although the Encounter amply
demonstrated the increasing empowerment of the Zapatista companeras,
how much of what was said actually rubbed off on those who came
from the outside is open to question. "I didn't really
get a lot of it," confided one young non-Spanish-speaking
activist on her way home to northern California to report back
on the womens' gathering to her Zapatista solidarity group.
Be that as it may, the EZLN
is going to need all the women - and men - it can muster in the
months to come. 2008 looms as a difficult year for the rebels
with the "mal gobierno" threatening to distribute lands
the Zapatistas recovered in 1994 to rival Indian farmer organizations
and paramilitary activity on the uptick.
As has always been the case
since this unique rebellion germinated, the Zapatistas turn the
corner into another year in struggle.
