They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human rights.

Pasar Bien Por la Tierra
"Antonia" nació en 1962 en San Pedro Chenalhó, un municipio tzotzil-maya en los Altos de Chiapas. Su historia empieza con recuerdos de la niñez y progresa hacia la edad adulta, cuando Antonia comenzó a trabajar con las mujeres de su comunidad para formar cooperativas de tejido mientras también se unía a la Palabra de Dios, el movimiento católico progresista conocido en otros lugares como Teología de la Liberación. En 1994, como esposa y madre de seis hijos, entró a una base de apoyo para el Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional. Al contar de sus experiencias en estos tres movimientos entrelazados, Antonia ofrece un cuadro vivo y lleno de matices sobre trabajar por la justicia social mientras trata de permanecer fiel a las tradiciones de su pueblo. La antropóloga Christine Eber ha conocido a Antonia desde 1986. En este libro, recuentan la historia de la vida de Antonia y reflexionan sobre los desafíos y recompensas que han experimentado al trabajar juntas y ser comadres.
