PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION:

“…The creator’s devotion to Bolivia and concern for its future shines through…Really useful.”-Choice

The historic election in 2005 of Evo Morales Ayma marked a radical and trans-formative moment in Bolivia’s history. It used to be the first time that a democratic election ushered in change at the scale of the 1952 National Revolution that emancipated the indigenous population, abolished involuntary servitude, and extended voting and land ownership rights.

A Brief History of Bolivia, Second Edition offers a concise yet comprehensive account of the history of Bolivia, from the ancient civilizations near the shores of Lake Titicaca to the efforts to quell the political and social turmoil Bolivia still endures nowadays. This revised edition covers in detail the events leading to and following the historic election of 2005, the effects of neo-populism on Morales’s campaign and victory, and the introduction of the brand new National Constitution.

Coverage includes

-The culture and history of the in large part indigenous Indian population

-Challenges to nationhood presented by Bolivia’s extreme landscape and climate

-The age of caudillo rule

-The 1952 National Revolution

-Consequences of the Andean drug war and the upward push of Morales’s cocalero movement

-Attempts to handle the racism that still plagues the country’s people

-The affect Bolivia’s natural gas resource has on its global economic standing

Basic facts, a chronology, a bibliography, and a list of suggested reading make up the appendixes.
