President Morales was forced to resign after protests against his re-election to a fourth term in allegedly fraudulent elections erupted among the urban middle classes, anti-indigenous racists, and prominent conservative politicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe country's far right used the ensuing crisis to orchestrate a successful coup, with military and police backing, paving the way for a repressive \"transition\" government led by Jeanine Áñez to take power. The Áñez government quelled popular protests with lethal force, shut down critical media outlets, and targeted members of Morales' political party, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite postponing elections three times, the Áñez government was eventually forced to call elections in October 2020. The MAS swept back into power, winning elections with 55% of the vote and returning democracy to the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCoup\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of this year of upheaval in Bolivia, providing a critical analysis of the 14 years of the MAS government that preceded it as well as the MAS return to power in 2020. It includes personal stories and commentary from women and men on the streets, leaders in social movements, members of the MAS party and government, survivors of Áñez's abuses, and intellectuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848844136684,"sku":"9781642595871","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22948833482772.jpg?v=1759000670"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/benjamin-dangl.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
