Sommario/riassunto |
|
In this insightful and revealing book, Sven Harten explains the success of the MAS and its wider consequences, showing how Morales has become the symbol for a new political consciousness that has entailed de-stigmatizing indigenous identities. It reveals the challenge of squaring the rupture with a discredited past with the continuity of democracy and the aim of representing an entire society. |
