The book by Přemysl Mácha „Small Flame in the Mountains, Fire in the Lowlands. Indian Uprising in the Mexican Chiapas“ describes the development of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (EZLN). Czech political scientist P. Mácha used to be an uncritical supporter of the uprising in the south of Mexico, but today he finds some problems in the activities of the EZLN. The book analyzes in detail the roots and history of this guerilla struggle. However, the success of the Zapatista propaganda among intellectuals in Western countries could have been given more critical attention. Nevertheless, it is the best work about the EZLN in the Czech language.
