Sumario:This article examines the importance of the Zapatista movement in contemporaryindigenous identity in Mexico, focusing on the Zapatista Army of National Liberation(EZLN). The central question is: How has the Zapatista movement contributed tostrengthening the resistance and struggle of indigenous peoples in Mexico? The studyadopts a qualitative approach, using documentary analysis and a narrative literaturereview.
