Evo Morales rode to power on a wave of popular mobilisations against the neoliberal policies enforced by his predecessors. Yet many of his economic policies bare striking resemblance to the status quo he was meant to displace. Based in part on dozens of interviews with leading Bolivian activists, Jeffery R. Webber examines the contradictions of Morales' first term in office. Accessible and insightful, Webber exposes the promise, potential and political contradictions of Morales' first term.

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.
