Evo Morales is one of the world's most controversial political
leaders. His story is extraordinary: poor shepherd-boy, persecuted
coca grower, self-professed admirer of Che Guevara, hero of the
anti-globalization movement, and first indigenous president of
modern Latin America. The story of the social movement turned
political party he is a part of -- the Movimiento Al Socialismo
(MAS) -- is also exceptional: originally founded as a splinter of
an ultra-right party, it was given as a gift for the coca growers
after they had been banned several times for spurious reasons to
register their own party, and went on to become an irresistible
force for indigenous rights in Bolivia. In this insightful and
revealing book, Sven Harten explains the success of the MAS and its
wider consequences, showing how Morales has become the symbol for a
new political consciousness that has entailed de-stigmatizing
indigenous identities. In many ways, the analysis of Morales's
political trajectory serves as a mirror for democracy in Bolivia.
It reveals the challenge of squaring the rupture with a discredited
past with the continuity of democracy and the aim of representing
an entire society.
