Since Evo Morales was elected president in 2006 as leader of the
MAS - the first social movement to achieve political power in Latin
America - Bolivia has seen radical changes and continues to
generate huge interest worldwide. In this revealing new book,
Crabtree and Chaplain show how ordinary people have responded to
the process of change that have taken place in the country over the
last few years. Based on a wealth of interview material and
original reportage, the book enters the terrain of grass-roots
politics, identifying how Bolivians work within the country's
social movements and how they view the effects that this
participation has achieved. It asks how they see their lives as
being altered - for better or for worse - by this experience, as
well as how they evaluate the experience of becoming politically
involved, often for the first time. This unique bottom-up analysis
explores the often complex relationship between Bolivia's people,
social movements and the state, highlighting both the achievements
and limitations of the MAS administration. In doing so, it casts
important new light both on the nature of the Bolivian 'experiment'
and its implications for participatory politics in other parts of
the developing world.
