Abstract

Though I have never been a coffee-drinker, the ideological and symbolic weight of coffee has not escaped me. With caffeine for the office worker and flavor for the distinguished upper-class palate, coffee's appeal stretches across many socioeconomic categories and occupies a unique register of social and professional life. And yet, as with most commodities, I find myself on the consumption side of the chain. A privileged position, to be sure, since the production of coffee has long been associated with labor exploitation, environmental damage, and human rights abuses. This widely publicized "underside" of coffee production, which has lead to the emergence of fair trade and organic labels for coffee, now leads me to ask about the viability of labeled coffee in the wake of the ongoing Zapatista struggle for indigenous rights in chiapas, Mexico.
