Robert Niebuhr explores the importance of the turbulent populist politics of the period after 1899 and the significance of the Chaco War as the most influential revolution in modern Bolivian history.
Composición social del Estado Plurinacional
Composición social del Estado Plurinacional investiga la transformación del perfil social de los servidores públicos en Bolivia brindando evidencia empírica sobre los avances en la descolonización del Estado. El estudio muestra que el acceso a la burocracia se ha democratizado sin perder capacidades ni institucionalidad. Los nuevos servidores públicos son más jóvenes, hay más indígenas y mujeres que en el pasado y tienen mejores niveles educativos, ocupacionales y de ingreso que sus padres. Sin embargo, estos cambios no escinden, al contrario, fortalecen su identidad étnica, potenciando la subjetividad de quienes tienen la responsabilidad diaria de construir el Estado Plurinacional.

Blood of the Earth
Conflicts over subterranean resources, particularly tin, oil, and natural gas, have driven Bolivian politics for nearly a century. “Resource nationalism”—the conviction that resource wealth should be used for the benefit of the “nation”—has often united otherwise disparate groups, including mineworkers, urban workers, students, war veterans, and middle-class professionals, and propelled an indigenous union leader, Evo Morales, into the presidency in 2006. Blood of the Earth reexamines the Bolivian mobilization around resource nationalism that began in the 1920s, crystallized with the 1952 revolution, and continues into the twenty-first century. Drawing on a wide array of Bolivian...
The Routledge Companion to Migration Literature
The Routledge Companion to Migration Literature offers a comprehensive survey of an increasingly important field. It demonstrates the influence of the “age of migration” on literature and showcases the role of literature in shaping socio-political debates and creating knowledge about the migratory trajectories, lives, and experiences that have shaped the post-1989 world. The contributors examine a broad range of literary texts and critical approaches that cover the spectrum between voluntary and forced migration. In doing so, they reflect the shift in recent years from the author-centric study of migrant writing to a more inclusive conception of migration literature. The book contains se...
The Sovereign Street
In the early twenty-first century Bolivian social movements made streets, plazas, and highways into the decisively important spaces for acting politically, rivaling and at times exceeding voting booths and halls of government. The Sovereign Street documents this important period, showing how indigenous-led mass movements reconfigured the politics and racial order of Bolivia from 1999 to 2011. Drawing on interviews with protest participants, on-the-ground observation, and documentary research, activist and scholar Carwil Bjork-James provides an up-close history of the indigenous-led protests that changed Bolivia. At the heart of the study is a new approach to the interaction between protest a...
Contested Community
Veronika Groke interrogates the concept of the comunidad indígena (indigenous community) in the context of the history and social life of a Guaraní community in eastern Bolivia. While this institution is today firmly embedded in Bolivian politics and society, different people and interest groups have varying understandings of its meaning and purpose. By showing the comunidad to be a multifaceted complex of diverging and sometimes competing ideas, desires, and agendas, Groke provides new insight into contemporary political tensions related to culture, identity, and development
