Bolivia is a nation energetically confronting stubborn legacies of
second-class citizenship as part of their historic process of
political transformation, which began in early 2000 and culminated
in the election to the presidency in late 2005 of Aymara-descended
coca grower and opposition leader Evo Morales. The civil unrest
seen in those intervening years was a spectacular expression of
grassroots disenchantment and a sharp rebuke to the politics of
Bolivia's neoliberal democratization, which began in sweeping
structural adjustment measures during 1985. Set in the largely
urban provincial capital of Quillacollo, this book is an
ethnographic examination of municipal politics in the context of
renewed elections of local-level officials beginning in 1987 after
a hiatus of almost forty years. Understanding who these people are,
how they think of themselves, and how they relate with each other
politically tells us a great deal about the everyday neopopular
political ground that has steadily been moving Bolivian national
politics toward a greater rapprochement with its indigenous
heritage.
