Ushering in a new "democratic cultural revolution," Morales promised to overturn neoliberalism and inaugurate a new decolonized society. In this crucial new book, Nancy Postero examines the successes and failures in the ten years since Morales's election. While the Morales government has made many changes that have positively benefited Bolivia's majority indigenous population, it has consolidated power and reinforced extractivist development models. In the process, indigeneity has been transformed from a site of emancipatory politics to a site of liberal nation-state building. By carefully tracing the political origins and practices of decolonization among activists, government administrators, and ordinary citizens, Postero makes an important contribution to our understanding of the meaning and impact of Bolivia's indigenous state."--Provided by publisher.NeoliberalismBolivia21st centuryMulticulturalismPolitical aspectsBolivia21st centuryIndigenous peoplesBoliviaGovernment relations21st centuryBoliviaEthnic relationsPolitical aspects21st centuryBoliviaPolitics and government21st centuryautonomy.bolivia.bolivian people.bolivian politics.economic liberation.economy.global.illustrated.indigenous cultures.indigenous nationalism.indigenous people.international.liberalism.maps.national identity.nationalism.political performance.political.politics.race issues.racial identity.racial issues.racism.spectacle.worldwide.NeoliberalismMulticulturalismPolitical aspectsIndigenous peoplesGovernment relations984.05/4Postero Nancy Grey990104MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910213849203321The indigenous state2264641UNINA
