This is the fifth of B.Traven's six legendary Jungle novels which together form an epic of the birth of the Mexican Revolution. Set in the slave-labor mahogany plantations of tropical Mexico in 1910, at the time of the uprising against the rule of Porfirio Díaz and the beginnings of revolution, Rebellion is a powerful and somber tale of the tortures suffered by down trodden Indians. But here is culminates in a revolt by the long-opressed workers against the owners and overseers of the camps, and in a treacherous march through the jungloes at the height of the rainy season - a human feat of epic proportions.
