Synopsis
As a young man, Ramon Perez aka Tianguis interrupted his studies and elisted in a burgeoning guerrilla movement to reclaim his people to ancestral communal lands in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. From the grassroots organizing conducted by the peasants to the power of regional and national politicians to enforce their social order with pistoleros -- through Tianguis' unwavering account we experience the struggle and its consequences. The pursuit of Guiero Medrano -- and of Tianguis and his friends -- is unremitting; there is no escape as they flee through the forests, small towns, and big-city barrios of Mexico. Capture is inevitable.

From the Back Cover
""A roadblock, " the driver said, making a gesture that showed that he felt it was a waste of time. "From time to time they're here, part of something called the Condor Plan, or so the newspapers say. They're looking for drugs.""--BOOK JACKET. "I felt fear in the pit of my stomach. I inhaled deeply, exhaling with an open mouth, quietly. I took Magdalena's hand. She didn't seem nervous."--BOOK JACKET. "I didn't have any guns with me, but in my bag were propaganda leaflets and books. I was sure that they'd ask questions about them - and just how far they'd question me, I didn't know. I thought about what they might do to Magdalena."--BOOK JACKET. "The soldiers went to the back of our pickup. The campesinos were showing them what they carried. An officer came up to the window of the pickup, telling the driver to step out. He did. His movement gave me a couple of moments alone with Magdalena."--BOOK JACKET. ""Don't come with me, " I whispered to her. "Tell them that you're with the driver." Then I glanced at her; she understood my plan."--BOOK JACKET.
