FROM REBELLION TO REFORM IN BOLIVIA: CLASS STRUGGLE, INDIGENOUS LIBERATION, AND THE POLITICS OF EVO MORALES
Book ID/图书代码: 11650011B46615
English Summary/英文概要: Evo Morales rode to power on a wave of popular mobilizations against the neoliberal policies enforced by his predecessors. Yet many of his economic policies bare striking resemblance to the status quo he was meant to displace. Based in part on dozens of interviews with leading Bolivian activists, Jeff Webber exams the contradictions of Morales’ first term in office.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 古今中外,歷朝歷代,在爭權奪勢的道路上,政客們費盡心思,有時甚至不惜一切欺騙和
愚弄百姓。
Jeffery R. Webber正是基於這一論點而創作本書,向讀者揭露了玻利維亞領導艾沃.莫拉萊斯的自相矛盾的政策。在艾沃.莫拉萊斯上任前,他的前任制定了反對“新自由主義”的政策,並掀起了一場政治大風波。借著這股反抗勢力的強大餘威,艾沃.莫拉斯在爭權奪勢的道路上迅速崛起。可是,莫拉斯所推行的經濟政策與他預備推翻的政策簡直如出一轍。本書的創作基點部分建立在對數十位元玻利維亞積極分子領導的採訪上,從而揭露了莫拉斯在第一任執政期間的種種矛盾。(from XMM)
Awards/获奖情况:“For a decade now, social movements in Bolivia have been in the forefront of struggles for global justice, and no commentator has more perceptively mapped this process than Jeffery Webber. In this exciting new study, Webber brings together his deep knowledge, critical powers and social justice commitments to provide a stunning overview of Bolivia’s movement from rebellion to reform. Everyone concerned with contemporary social movements and class struggles urgently needs this book. Not only does From Rebellion to Reform in Bolivia bring us up to speed about what is happening in the heart of the Bolivian struggle – it also offers enormous lessons for struggles for global justice across the planet.”---David McNally, author ofGlobal Slump: The Economics and Politics of Crisis and ResistanceandAnother World is Possible: Globalization and Anti-Capitalism.
“Webber’s book cuts bravely against the grain of the fashionable left-wing romanticizing of Evo Morales and the Bolivian process. It meticulously documents the extent to which neoliberalism still shapes Morales’s economic policies, and it successfully theorizes the contradictions of attempting to overlay an older model of state-led development—ECLAC’s structuralism, or import substitution—on top of an intact neoliberal foundation dominated by the export of non-value-added raw materials. The result is a ground-breaking expansion and application of the concept of ‘neostructuralism’ to the Bolivian experience, an analysis that also has implications for Venezuela and Brazil.”---Tom Lewis, Co-author with Oscar Olivera of¡Cochabamba! Water War in Bolivia
