Since 1994 the Zapatistas, a rebel Mayan organization from the Mexican state of Chiapas, have written volumes concerning their central demand; autonomy from the Mexican state. This study highlights their theories and practices of autonomy and democracy juxtaposing them with Western theories of social and political organization. The study asserts that the democratic theories of the Zapatistas should be discussed as viable alternatives to the dominant practices of democracy which stem from Enlightenment ideals. The Zapatista theory of autonomy fundamentally challenges Enlightenment ideals such as individualism, science, rationality, and the <italic>homo economicus</italic> identity. As such it challenges current dominant social relations and the contemporary trends of neoliberalism and globalization. Mayan cosmology and epistemology are at the heart of the Zapatista theories which challenge the extreme marginalization indigenous peoples have suffered at the hands of elites whose theories and practices of neoliberalism, globalization and development have widened the gap between rich and poor. The Zapatistas' focus on dialogue with civil society through the <italic>encuentro</italic> strategy places their ideals, behaviors and demands squarely in the tradition of recent new social movements. Furthermore, the Zapatistas have influenced people and movements the world over. In order to understand the potential that Zapatista theories of autonomy and democracy might have for social transformation the study also examines how two university-based organizations in the United States have interpreted and used <italic>Zapatismo</italic> in their own struggles.
