Red October: Left-indigenous Struggles In Modern Bolivia
Using extensive field data from hundreds of interviews, Webber surveys the origins of Bolivia's revolutionary wave of 2000 to 2005.
Bolivia witnessed a left-indigenous insurrectionary cycle between 2000 and 2005 that overthrew two presidents and laid the foundation for Evo Morales to become the country's first indigenous president.
Building on the theoretical traditions of Marxism and indigenous liberation, Red October: Left-indigenous Struggles In Modern Bolivia provides an analytical framework for understanding the fine-grained sociological and political nuances of recent Bolivian class-struggle, state-repression, and indigenous resistance.
