Mobilizing Bolivia's Displaced

Více o knize

The book highlights the pivotal role of the Landless Peasant Movement (MST) in Bolivia's political landscape, particularly in the election of Evo Morales as the country's first indigenous president in 2005. Nicole Fabricant explores how MST activists, inspired by Brazil's Landless movement, seized unproductive land to establish farming collectives, challenging large-scale agriculture. The narrative focuses on how these landless peasants politicized their indigenous identity to influence grassroots land politics, advocate for state reform, and secure rights for Native peoples.
