The EZLN is an indigenous rebel group based in Chiapas, Mexico's poorest state. It aims to defend indigenous rights and oppose neoliberal policies like NAFTA. The EZLN's structure is based on traditional indigenous self-governance, with communal assemblies guiding each decision. These assemblies select officers and commissioners to oversee security, education, and health. Assemblies also form five regional centers called Caracoles to coordinate civilian governance, education, sports, politics, and gatherings across ethnic zones. Caracoles are meant to be places where internal indigenous communities and external supporters can meet. The EZLN continues pursuing justice and indigenous autonomy based on its original 11 demands and an evolving

Guatemala declared independence from Spain in 1821 but has experienced significant political instability since, including a long civil war. Poverty is widespread, with over half the population living below the national poverty line. A key factor contributing to Guatemala's problems has been the influence of the United Fruit Company, a U.S. corporation that came to dominate the country's economy in the early 20th century and had ties to dictatorships. The company was accused of exploiting workers and influencing politics to its benefit until its land holdings were nationalized in 1952, leading the U.S. to back a coup that overthrew the government.

Zapatistas 2012 Updated
The Zapatistas are a group of indigenous Mexicans who fight for improved rights and living conditions for indigenous people in Mexico. They are named after Emiliano Zapata, a leader in the early 20th century who fought for indigenous rights. In the 1990s, the Zapatistas engaged in harassment and sabotage against the Mexican government to protest poverty and inequality in Chiapas, a resource-rich state where most indigenous people live in poverty.
Final Paper Modern Latin America
During the Cold War in Latin America, many countries experienced "dirty wars" where military dictatorships took control and violently suppressed dissent to eliminate perceived communist threats. While Mexico maintained civilian rule, it engaged in similar repression through tactics like massacres of student protesters and disappearances of dissidents. Attempts to prosecute perpetrators in Mexico and other countries like Guatemala and El Salvador have faced resistance, with few cases ever making it to court. The document analyzes how even under civilian government, Mexico experienced a "dirty war" pattern of violence comparable to other Latin American nations during this volatile period of history.

The document provides historical context about the Salvadoran Civil War that occurred from 1980-1992. It was a conflict between the military government of El Salvador and the FMLN, a coalition of five left-wing militias. Tensions had been growing for decades due to inequality and the concentration of wealth among a small elite. The war resulted in around 75,000 deaths before a peace deal was reached in 1992.

The document describes the social hierarchy in Mexico during Spanish rule, with the Criollos of Spanish descent at the top, followed by the mixed-race Mestizos, indigenous people with Indian blood, and Africanos slaves at the bottom. It notes Miguel Hidalgo, a Criollo priest, helped spark the Mexican War of Independence by rallying people from his church to fight against Spanish rule, crying "Viva la Guadalupe." He later proclaimed himself emperor after leading rebel forces as a general.
History 28 guatemala
Guatemala is a mountainous country located between the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean with many rivers. The population is made up of Mestizo, indigenous Mayan groups, and others. While Spanish is the official language, many Mayan languages are still spoken. The culture features both indigenous and Spanish influences in arts, music, and religion. Guatemala experienced a civil war during the late 20th century after a CIA backed coup removed a democratically elected left-leaning president in 1954, installing right-wing dictators and fueling guerilla movements.

Born in Blood and Fire - Chapter 3
This chapter discusses the context and events surrounding independence revolutions in Latin America in the early 19th century. It explores the social hierarchies and groups involved, including peninsulars, creoles, natives, Africans, and slaves. The revolutions began slowly in Mexico and spread to other countries. Creoles united with lower classes against the Spanish by emphasizing native birthplace over European origins. The leaders of independence movements included Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin. However, the revolutions did not fundamentally change social hierarchies of patriarchy, classism, and racism.
Born in Blood and Fire - Chapter 2
Chapter 2 provides an overview of colonial rule in Latin America from the 16th to 18th centuries. It discusses how European powers like Spain and Portugal extracted resources through mining and sugar plantations, shaping the economic and political structures of their colonies. It also examines how Europeans exercised dominant control over the region while new Latin American identities emerged through processes of cultural blending, or transculturation, between indigenous and European religious and social traditions. Racial mixing between Europeans, Africans, and indigenous peoples also created new mixed-race populations and challenged colonial caste systems.
Born in Blood and Fire - Intro/Chapter 1
The document provides an introduction to the history of Latin America, beginning with European colonization in the 15th century. It discusses some shared characteristics and differing traits among Latin American countries. The introduction also examines perspectives on explaining Latin America's development, from racial determinism to dependency theory. Finally, it previews some of the key topics covered in the first chapter, including the patterns of indigenous life pre-colonization, the motivations for European exploration and colonization, and the consequences of the European encounter across Latin America.
Latin America's Shift to the Left
This is a slideshow I'm presenting to my class to go along with my lecture kicking off a 5-week series on Latin America's recent "shift to the left".
Modern latin america
The document discusses several causes of wars in 19th century Latin America, including race wars stemming from the Haitian Revolution, ideology of independence influenced by the American and French Revolutions, debates over separation versus union of newly independent nations, boundary disputes due to poorly defined colonial borders, and wars of territorial conquest against indigenous groups. It also provides background on NAFTA, the Zapatista uprising in Mexico, and former Mexico City mayor Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Mexican history pp
During Spanish colonial rule in Mexico, large estates called haciendas emerged on land seized from indigenous peoples. The Spanish landowners, or conquistadors, forced Native Americans to work on the haciendas for low wages and stripped them of most of their land. This system established social castes based on race that determined one's status. After independence, conservative elites who wanted to maintain the colonial system clashed with liberals seeking land reform and greater rights for indigenous Mexicans and mestizos. The legacy of colonial land seizures and inequality continued to shape conflicts over land and political power in independent Mexico.
Mexican history pp
The document provides an overview of Mexican history from pre-colonization to the Mexican Revolution. It discusses how the Spanish established systems of control, including racial castes and large estates called haciendas. This led to tensions that contributed to Mexico gaining independence, though the country remained unstable. Later, the Liberal government instituted reforms challenging the Catholic Church and wealthy landowners, leading to the long Mexican Revolution aimed at greater equality.
Guatemala
Guatemala gained independence from Spain in 1821. However, peasants in the mountains staged revolts against the government from 1821 to 1839. In 1837, a farmer named Rafael Carrera led a revolt and became the new leader, taking over the presidency until his death in 1865. Today, Guatemala is a democratic republic established by its 1985 constitution, with three branches of government. Agriculture is the dominant industry, employing over half of Guatemalans, many of whom are indigenous Mayans living in rural areas and speaking both Spanish and Maya languages.

Central Mexico is surrounded by the Sierra Madre mountains. The Aztecs divided their society into nobles and commoners and believed sacrifices were needed to please the gods. Mayans were located in present-day Guatemala, Honduras, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Their society was divided into priests and peasants and populations were small due to harsh rainforest conditions. Christopher Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, believing he had reached India, which led Spain and Portugal to battle for land in the New World.

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) formed in 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico in response to broken promises of the Mexican Revolution and the policies of President Salinas. On New Year's Day 1994, the Zapatistas issued their First Declaration from the Lacandón Jungle declaring war on the Mexican government to oppose neoliberal policies like NAFTA that harmed indigenous peoples. They called for real democracy, equality for women, and an end to foreign domination of their lands and lives. Though initially armed, they later embraced nonviolent resistance and focused on building autonomous communities.

The Zapatista uprising began on January 1, 1994 in Chiapas, Mexico in protest against neoliberal economic reforms and the implementation of NAFTA. Indigenous communities led by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) took control of several municipalities. While some died in clashes with government forces, the EZLN soon withdrew to the forest and began negotiating with the government. The Zapatistas framed their struggle in local, national, and global terms and utilized new technologies and media to spread their message of resistance to neoliberalism internationally. Their decentralized network-based organization and use of the internet to coordinate support groups helped spark the global justice movement.

The Brown Berets organized to advocate for educational equality and against police brutality. They also sought to return lands once held by Mexico to Mexican control. By 1968, the Brown Berets had become a national organization with chapters across the United States. La Alianza was formed in 1963 to inform Spanish land grant heirs of their rights under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Poor People's Campaign, led by Martin Luther King Jr., aimed to gain economic justice for poor Americans and pressure Congress to pass an economic bill of rights. It expanded the civil rights movement's focus to include economic justice issues. The Chicano Movement adopted and promoted civil disobedience and nonviolent protest strategies from leaders like Gandhi

Soil Conservation In South Texas
The annexation of Texas in the 1840s had both advantages and disadvantages. Southerners saw it as a way to expand the nation and spread slavery, while Northerners feared it would give the South too much power and possibly lead to war with Mexico. After John Tyler took office, the issue of annexing Texas became prominent as part of his policy of manifest destiny. While the South largely supported annexation to gain more slave territory, the North opposed it due to fears over the expansion of slavery.
Latin america indigenous people
Indigenous peoples in Latin America face ongoing challenges. By 2010, around 45 million indigenous people lived in Latin America, representing 8.3% of the population. During colonization, indigenous peoples lost their lands and sovereignty and faced exploitation and discrimination. More recently, indigenous groups have gained some rights protections and political participation, though many still face poverty and social exclusion. Key ongoing issues include pressures on indigenous lands from extractive industries, demands for self-determination, and integrating indigenous rights and perspectives into development models.

The document also examines views on the work ethic and family values of illegal Mexicans, as well as what happens when they are arrested. Political ads often portray them negatively, while the movie A Better Life shows them as hard workers who support their families.

Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies. Both: team autonomy and shared broad product ownership are required to sustain true result-oriented organizational agility. Org Topologies is a package offering a visual language plus thinking tools required to communicate org development direction and can be used to help design and then sustain org change aiming at higher organizational archetypes.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge. The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition. The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.

From Concept to reality : Implementing Lean Managements DMAIC Methodology for...
The Ready-Made Garments (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a cornerstone of the economy, but increasing costs and stagnant productivity pose significant challenges to profitability. This study explores the implementation of Lean Management in the Sampling Section of RMG factories to enhance productivity. Drawing from a comprehensive literature review, theoretical framework, and action research methodology, the study identifies key areas for improvement and proposes solutions.
Through the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), the research identifies low productivity as the primary problem in the Sampling Section, with a PPH (Productivity per head) of only 4.0. Using Lean Management techniques such as 5S, Standardized work, PDCA/Kaizen, KANBAN, and Quick Changeover, the study addresses issues such as pre and post Quick Changeover (QCO) time, improper line balancing, and sudden plan changes.
The research employs regression analysis to test hypotheses, revealing a significant correlation between reducing QCO time and increasing productivity. With a regression equation of Y = -0.000501X + 6.72 and an R-squared value of 0.98, the study demonstrates a strong relationship between the independent variables (QCO downtime and improper line balancing downtime) and the dependent variable (productivity per head).
The findings suggest that by implementing Lean Management practices and addressing key productivity inhibitors, RMG factories can achieve substantial improvements in efficiency and profitability. The study provides valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance productivity in the RMG industry and similar manufacturing sectors.

- 1. Organizational Structure of the EZLN By: Saydee Villarruel
- 2. Chiapas Chiapas is industrially and agriculturally wealthy, providing the country with 55% of hydroelectricity, 20% of electricity, and the estimated potential of Chiapas and Guatemala combined would exceed that of Saudi Arabia. Yet 70% of homes in Chiapas do not have electricity, over 50% of the workforce earns less than $3.32 a day; 80% of children suffer from malnutrition and there are 1500 deaths that occur each year from curable diseases. Chiapas has the 2nd highest population of indigenous peoples in Mexico. Chiapas is also the 2nd poorest state in the nation. (This has most recently changed as Guerrero is now the poorest as of 2010 statistics.)
- 3. Map of Chiapas, Mexico
- 4. Ejercito Zapatista por la Liberacion Nacional (EZLN) Translates to The Zapatista Army of National Liberation, referred to as Zapatistas. The Zapatistas began gathering in 1983 but didn’t go public until January 1, 1994, the same day NAFTA came into effect. On that day they also issued their Declaration and their Revolutionary laws. Since 1994, the group has been in a declared war "against the Mexican state," though this war has been primarily nonviolent and defensive against military, paramilitary, and corporate incursions into Chiapas.
- 5. EZLN Today the EZLN has expanded outside of Chiapas into other marginalized areas of Mexico and created another campaign called La Otra Campaña ( The Other Campaign) to assist others in seeking justice. The EZLN also receives support from Mexican from other social backgrounds as well as support from local, national and international grassroots committees and NGOs.
- 6. Structure of the EZLN The EZLN’s struture is based on traditional indigenous forms of organization and governance. The communal assembly guides and directs its decisions, it is integral to each Zapatista community and is based on the equal participation of women and men. Each assembly or Caracol selects its own officers, who are responsible to secure the community safety, education and health commissioners who meet regionally. Caracoles are the civilian government, health, educational, sports, political, and gathering places for the Zapatista movement. There are five caracoles in Chiapas; one caracol for each of the five geographic and ethnic zones of Chiapas.
- 7. Structure of EZLN Why Caralcoles? The Zapatistas have named their civilian centers "Caracoles" which is the Spanish word for a snail shell. One of the distinctive features of the snail shell is that it swirls about and is a living entity where the outside meets the inside. This is a fitting symbol of the Zapatista Civilian Centers... a place where the outside (national and international bases of support) can come to meet and experience the inside (the Zapatista bases of support)
- 8. EZLN Today The Zapatistas began their rebellion with a number of specific list of 11 demands: work, land, housing, food, health care, education, independence, freedom, democracy, justice, and peace. Their First Declaration opens with the statement, "We are the product of 500 years of struggle.” Over the last few years the demands and vision of the movement has deepened and matured. The most complete statement of their current position is available in a document known as The Sixth Declaration of the Lacandon Jungle.
