Bolivia was the center stage for one of the most important Latin
American social revolutions of the twentieth century, one that
occurred amid a sea of tremendous political instability. The
expansion of organized labor that occurred during the 1920s was met
with multiple government reprisals and was largely curbed by the
Chaco War with Paraguay of 1932-1935. Nevertheless, despite being
compelled to operate illegally, the labor movement found support in
several political parties, the most successful of which was the
Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario, a powerhouse in the miners'
federation. Conscious of the remarkable upheavals which punctuated
Bolivian history during the twentieth century, Alexander traces the
relative successes of Bolivia's labor unions, contextualizing their
triumphs and disappointments within the captivating history of
Bolivia's tumultuous political scene. Bolivia was the center stage

labor movement evolved in the framework of several political
changes, including: the brief presidency of Major Gualberto
Villarroel which began in December 1943 and lasted only two and a
half years; the Bolivian National Revolution which began on April
9, 1952; the onset of agrarian reform in 1952; the overthrow of the
revolutionary regime in November 1964
