And Those Who Left --Conclusion --Contributors --Notes --IndexDignity and Defiance is a powerful, eyewitness account of Bolivia's decade-long rebellion against globalization imposed from abroad. Based on extensive interviews, this story comes alive with first-person accounts of a massive Enron/Shell oil spill from an elderly woman whose livelihood it threatens, of the young people who stood down a former dictator to take back control of their water, and of Bolivia's dramatic and successful challenge to the policies of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Featuring a substantial introduction, a conclusion, and introductions to each of the chapters, this well-crafted mix of storytelling and analysis is a rich portrait of people calling for global integration to be different than it has been: more fair and more just.GlobalizationEconomic aspectsBoliviaInvestments, ForeignBoliviaBoliviaForeign economic relationsElectronic books.GlobalizationEconomic aspectsInvestments, Foreign301Draper Melissaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShultz Jamesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910456834503321Dignity and Defiance2489260UNINA
