Unequal Cures
Unequal Cures illuminates the connections between public health and political change in Bolivia from the beginning of the twentieth century, when the country was a political oligarchy, until the eve of the 1952 national revolution that ushered in universal suffrage, agrarian reform, and the nationalization of Bolivia’s tin mines. Ann Zulawski examines both how the period’s major ideological and social transformations changed medical thinking and how ideas of public health figured in debates about what kind of country Bolivia should become. Zulawski argues that the emerging populist politics of the 1930s and 1940s helped consolidate Bolivia’s medical profession and that improved public ...
Bolivia's Radical Tradition
In December 2005, following a series of convulsive upheavals that saw the overthrow of two presidents in three years, Bolivian peasant leader Evo Morales became the first Indian president in South American history. Consequently, according to S. Sándor John, Bolivia symbolizes new shifts in Latin America, pushed by radical social movements of the poor, the dispossessed, and indigenous people once crossed off the maps of "official" history. But, as John explains, Bolivian radicalism has a distinctive genealogy that does not fit into ready-made patterns of the Latin American left. According to its author, this book grew out of a desire to answer nagging questions about this unusual place. Why ...

Women Miners in Developing Countries
Contrary to their masculine portrayal, mines have always employed women in valuable and productive roles. Yet, pit life continues to be represented as a masculine world of work, legitimizing men as the only mineworkers and large, mechanized, and capitalized operations as the only form of mining.Bringing together a range of case studies of women miners from past and present in Asia, the Pacific region, Latin America and Africa, this book makes visible the roles and contributions of women as miners. It also highlights the importance of engendering small and informal mining in the developing world as compared to the early European and American mines.

Un amor desenfrenado por la libertad
Un amor desenfrenado por la libertad. Antología de la historia política de Bolivia (1825-2020): Con esta publicación pretendemos evaluar y analizar propositivamente la historia política de Bolivia, de cara al bicentenario.

El contenido temático se dividió en siete periodos enmarcados en sendas constitucion...
La acumulación originaria de capital en Bolivia 1825 - 1855
Esta obra se concentra en un país (Bolivia) y en un período específico (las primeras décadas post-independencia), pero analiza una temática que es recurrente para entender el desarrollo de largo plazo de América Latina. ¿Cómo la existencia de estructuras económicas abigarradas permiten el desarrollo de sectores exportadores modernos? Y a la inversa, ¿cuál puede ser el impacto de largo plazo de una estrategia de desarrollo basada en las exportaciones en un contexto de estructuras económicas abigarradas? En este sentido, esta es una lectura obligatoria para entender las bases que sustentaron el desarrollo exportador boliviano en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Pero es también una lectura sumamente útil para entender por qué seguimos presos de los vaivenes de los precios internacionales.
