Description:
The true treasure of Mexico is not the gold of the Spanish Conquistadors dreams, but the oil which sits beneath the soil in Chiapas. This novel describes the clash between the Indians and the Mexican government over the ownership and use of land against the overarching backdrop of the new global economy (the U.S. backed Mexico in "settling down" the Chiapas Indians to control this vast oil resource, reducing U.S. dependence on OPEC as a supplier).
Expand description
The Yellow Cathedral comes out of the time the author spent in Mexico in 1994-5, during the Zapatista uprising. The characters are all Mexican and fall roughly into two categories: the indigenous, who may or may not be in sympathy with the revolt, but are in some way on a level with it, and members of the governing class, who are trying to deal with this revolution and its effects while the economy is spinning out of control.
