Raúl Zibechi

Raúl Zibechi (born January 25, 1952, in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a radio and print journalist, writer, researcher, militant, and political theorist. Between 1969-1973, as a student, he was a militant of the Frente Estudiantil Revolucionario (FER). In the '80s he began to publish in left newspapers and magazines. He focuses on social movements in Latin America and their relationships. As a popular educator he conducts workshops with social groups, particularly in urban peripheries and with peasants. He has published 18 books, almost all about concrete experiences of social movements. Three of his books have been translated into English: Dispersing power, Territories in resistance and The New Brazil (AK Press). He publishes regularly in La Jornada (Mexico), Gara (Spain) and other alternative media.
