This volume reflects on the first administration of Evo Morales
and his party, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), the history of
the movement, and Bolivian politics and society under the MAS since
2005. Morales has been widely touted as the first indigenous leader
of a South American country since the European Conquest.
