Summary
Ten years have passed since that chilly dawn in January 1994, when the world awakened to find an indigenous rebellion underway in Chiapas, Mexico. Since those early days the engagement of national and international civil society has grown into one of the distinctive characteristics of the Zapatista movement, crucial to its survival and with great impact on the way it developed. The relation between the Zapatistas in Chiapas and their supporters worldwide has involved multiple challenges. The Zapatistas have undertaken efforts to restructure their relations with civil society and to establish greater control over the aid flowing to the indigenous communities. This article examines the evolution of relations between the Zapatistas of Chiapas and their outside supporters from a particular vantage point. The account presented draws on the dialogue they have been engaged in over the past five years about how outside support could contribute to Zapatista development efforts
