Long occupied and long suffering, the valley of Oaxaca has seen itself subjected time and time again by tyrants of every type. And time and time again they have resisted, hoping things would be different. It didn't change with the Spanish, it didn't change with Independence. Even their homegrown son of Benito Juárez couldn't change things after they beat the French, nor could the Magonista movement affect lasting change during the revolution. Oaxaca today is just another city in the Mexican south. More and more poor indigenous farmers come into the city every year, driven by the miserable conditions of the countryside. Once there they crowd into the growing urban sprawl of underemployed people that spreads far outside the original city limits. As this population grows, the desire for land and liberty grows once again. And Oaxaca is prepared to struggle like they always have, to bravely face tyranny like their forefathers did.
