Opis

Recenzje

"In the 21st century Bolivia became a nation in which many of Latin America's woes and challenges came together. This came to a head in the political crisis in 2019-20. The end of the long government of Evo Morales after contested elections in October 2019, the ill-fated interim government of Jeanine Áñez and the return to power of the MAS, occurred in the space of one year. Offering a careful analysis of the crucial elements of this critical conjuncture, this book provides a multi-disciplinary analysis of this eventful period. It is a must-read for everyone interested in Bolivian and Latin American politics." -- Michiel Baud, professor Latin American Studies at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
