Author Description

"This volume brings together essays written over three decades on Bolivian history and politics. Opening with a contemporary survey of the new government of the MAS headed by Evo Morales, the chapters here review the neo-liberal experiments of the 1980s and 1990s, the strategic and intellectual failures of Che Guevara's guerrilla foco, the origins of the Revolution of 1952, explanations for the dominance of the caudillos of the 19th century, and the extraordinary story of Francisca Burdett O'Connor, whose life combined liberations struggles on both sides of the Atlantic."--Jacket.
