Another Way of Doing Health: Lessons from the Zapatista Autonomous Communities in Chiapas, Mexico

Editors’ Note: This chapter connects to the thematic tabs colonial, nature, race, science, structure and women. As a chef, scholar and activist advocating decolonization, Rodriguez reads the autonomous health and nutrition projects of the Zapatistas as decolonial practices—actions aimed at de-linking from the intersectional hierarchies created by the colonial system. Rodriguez’s contribution is to demonstrate how matters of nutrition and health intermingle with the Zapatista struggle over their ancestral territories.
