Red October: Left-indigenous Struggles In Modern Bolivia - Historical Materialism, Volume 29 (Paperback)

Jeffery Webber's Red October provides an invaluable guide to our generation's 1848: Bolivia's resource wars of the early twenty-first century, when indigenous and union activists joined together to take back their country's water and gas from foreign corporations - and in so doing, led the first sustained and successful assault on neoliberalism. Like what Karl Marx's Eighteenth Brumaire did for 1848, Webber astutely analyzes the alliances and ideologies of a powerful social movement that, while drawing its poetry from the past, is pointing the world to a different future, one with newer, fuller conceptions of democracy. In so doing, Webber provides the most innovative update of social movement theory yet available.-Greg Grandin, Professor of History, New York University, and author of Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism, and Last Colonial Massacre: Latin America in the Cold War, among other books.
