内容简介
一次历史写作的壮举，
一位拉丁美洲最具魅力与传奇色彩的革命领袖，
萨帕塔的精神传统，对墨西哥、对全球南方，影响至今。
美国历史学家小约翰•沃马克所著的《萨帕塔与墨西哥大革命》（Zapata and the Mexican Revolution）虽然写于1968年，但至今仍旧是认识萨帕塔这位拉丁美洲大众偶像的核心书目。沃马克是美国拉美史研究的代表人物，《萨帕塔与墨西哥大革命》更是风靡美国及墨西哥学院内外的认识墨西哥现代历史和文化的“入门必读书”。该书的特色之处是，以通俗而富于诗意的语言，以人物为中心，串讲了19世纪末至20世纪前半叶的墨西哥社会。我们国内目前对墨西哥的介绍，仍未能超越“通史”的范式。这本书是一种极为宏大的历史视野，在人物活动的线索中，呈现一幅墨西哥社会的历史全景：从农业社会的肌理，到议会选举的角力，政治阴谋、武装冲突、革命者的理想与局限，都在本书中得到了细腻的描写，这显然能为中文读者提供权威的、有生命质感的阅读体验。

Content introduction
A feat of historical writing,
One of Latin America's most charismatic and legendary revolutionary leaders,
The Zapatista spiritual tradition has influenced Mexico and the global South to this day.
American historian John Womack Jr. 's Zapata and the Mexican Revolution, although written in 1968, remains the centerpiece of an understanding of the Latin American popular icon. Womack is a representative figure in the study of American Latin American history, and Zapata and the Mexican Revolution is a "must-read" for the understanding of modern Mexican history and culture in the United States and Mexico. The book is characterized by its popular and poetic language and character-centered narration of Mexican society in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. Our current domestic presentation of Mexico does not go beyond the "general history" paradigm. This book is a very grand historical vision, and in the clues of the activities of the characters, a historical panorama of Mexican society is presented: from the texture of the agricultural society to the struggle of the parliamentary elections, political intrigues, armed conflicts, and the ideals and limitations of the revolutionaries are all described in detail in this book, which can obviously provide Chinese readers with an authoritative reading experience with the texture of life.
