Abstract: Marisa Belausteguigoitia examines how demands of Zapatistas' indigenous women have been treated differently from the claims made by indigenous representatives inside official negotiations with the Mexican state during the 1990s. Taking the example of the claim for the right to rest, she explores the ways in which indigenous women's voices, in Chiapas and inside the Zapatistas' rebellion, have been edited and reduced to be bearers of community traditions.
