Zapatista Seed Pedagogics: Beyond Rights, Creating a Decolonizing Co-Education
Charlotte María Sáenz
International Journal of Human Rights Education, v7 n1 Article 4 2023
This article inquires into a pedagogics that seeds a larger co-educational process outside of the Zapatista movement's autonomous territories. A Zapatista Seed Pedagogics (ZSP) is theorized as an educational, political, and ethical process that confronts oppressive power relations at all levels, growing a collective political and educational subject. While still asserting the need for Indigenous rights within a neocolonial context, a ZSP transcends a human rights education framework to insist on the inherent value of all beings and their birthright to a dignified life. Drawing on a qualitative transgeographic study conducted through interviews with pro-Zapatista interlocutors who are themselves involved in processes of social change in their localities, the author explores how this ZSP provokes a learning to learn and listen differently, contributing to a larger mutualistic political-ethical education that in turn grows Zapatismo itself.
