Description

This choice of essays spans the period 2005-2008, when Evo Morales used to be consolidating power regardless of extreme opposition by both elites in Eastern Bolivia and america.  Whilst Hugo Chávez is no longer on the political scene, and the Castro brothers in Cuba represent an older brand of Latin American socialism, it has fallen on Morales to be a new leader of the Latin Left. Arturo von Vacano, a leading journalist, novelist, and commentator on Bolivia during the last fifty years provides, through statement pieces and essays, an analysis of the precarious first three years of the “Evo Experiment.” This refers back to the emergence of the first indigenous president of Bolivia, a leader who rose to power from the coca growers movement in the 1990s to turn into the head of the MAS (Movement Towards Socialism) and ultimately establish an economically-viable model of democratic socialism in a country long dominated by racism and foreign dependence.
