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 relationsbolivia.bolivian history.border crossing.capitalism.coca fields.economics.enron.eyewitness accounts.fighting back.first person accounts.former dictator.global integration.globalization.humane development.international influences.international monetary fund.neoliberalism.oil companies.oil spill.political massacres.politics.rebellion.shell.social justice.south america.south american history.world bank.GlobalizationEconomic aspectsInvestments, Foreign301Draper Melissaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShultz Jamesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910808691003321Dignity and Defiance4116374UNINA
