Today I decided to look on the internet for official information (and possibly a website) about the EZLN and their struggle, from their perspective. There is an abundance of positive information about NAFTA, but it mostly comes from government and NAFTA websites, so this is to be expected. I found their official website (http://www.ezln.org.mx/index.html), and decided to search for mas información. Since their website is in Spanish, I used Google translate so I could understand it. It wasn’t as helpful as I thought, and it was actually more difficult to comprehend than the Spanish version. After reading some of their website, I came across their declaration of war against Mexico, and the evidence they used to back it up. I checked their claims, and they seemed to be mostly true. Overall, I would say that I learned a lot about the EZLN’s reason for being, as well as my ability to read in Spanish for a non-Spanish class.
