Evo Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president, won reelection
three times on a leftist platform championing Indigenous rights,
anti-imperialism, and Bolivian control over the country's natural
gas reserves. In Bolivia in the Age of Gas, Bret Gustafson explores
how the struggle over natural gas has reshaped Bolivia, along with
the rise, and ultimate fall, of the country's first Indigenous-led
government. Rethinking current events against the backdrop of a
longer history of oil and gas politics and military intervention,
Gustafson shows how natural gas wealth brought a measure of
economic independence and redistribution, yet also reproduced
political and economic relationships that contradicted popular and
Indigenous aspirations for radical change. Though grounded in the
unique complexities of Bolivia, the volume argues that fossil-fuel
political economies worldwide are central to the reproduction of
militarism and racial capitalism and suggests that progressive
change demands moving beyond fossil-fuel dependence and the social
and ecological ills that come with it.
