Activist in El Alto. 330 $aFrom the Mines to the Streets draws on the life of Félix Muruchi to depict the greater forces at play in Bolivia and elsewhere in South America during the last half of the twentieth century. It traces Félix from his birth in an indigenous family in 1946, just after the abolition of bonded labor, through the next sixty years of Bolivia's turbulent history. As a teenager, Félix followed his father into the tin mines before serving a compulsory year in the military, during which he witnessed the 1964 coup d'état that plunged the country into eighteen years of military rule. He returned to work in the mines, where he quickly rose to become a union leader. The reward for his activism was imprisonment, torture, and exile. After he came home, he participated actively in the struggles against neoliberal governments, which led in 2006?the year of his sixtieth birthday?to the inauguration of Evo Morales as Bolivia's first indigenous president. The authors weave Muruchi's compelling recollections with contextual commentary that elucidates Bolivian history. The combination of an unforgettable life story and in-depth text boxes makes this a gripping, effective account, destined to become a classic sourcebook. 410 0$aWilliam & Bettye Nowlin series in art, history, and culture of the Western Hemisphere. 606 $aPolitical activists$zBolivia$vBiography 606 $aLabor leaders$zBolivia$vBiography 606 $aMiners$zBolivia$vBiography 606 $aIndigenous peoples$zBolivia$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aBolivia$xPolitics and government$y1952-1982 607 $aBolivia$xPolitics and government$y1982-2006 607 $aBolivia$xSocial conditions$y1952-1982 607 $aBolivia$xSocial conditions$y1982- 615 0$aPolitical activists 615 0$aLabor leaders 615 0$aMiners 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xSocial conditions 676 $a984.052092 676 $aB 700 $aMuruchi Poma$b Feliciano Fe?lix$f1946-$01464433 701 $aKohl$b Benjamin H$0167362 701 $aFarthing$b Linda$01464434 701 $aMuruchi$b Fe?lix$01464435 712 02$aMuruchi$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781258103321 996 $aFrom the mines to the streets$93674066 997 $aUNINA
