A young journalist's chronicles of Mexican social movements and the powers attempting to repress them

---

Mexico Unconquered is an evocative report on the powers of violence and corruption in Mexico and the rebel underdogs who put their lives on the line to build justice from the ground up. Mexico Unconquered probes the overwhelming divisions in contemporary Mexico, home to the worlds richest man, Carlos Slim, and to destitute millions. John Gibler weaves narrative journalism with lyrical descriptions, combining the journalists trade of walking the streets and the philosophers task of drawing out the tremendous implications of the seemingly mundane.John Gibler has reported for In These Times, Common Dreams, YES! Magazine, ColorLines and Democracy Now!.
