This book aims to move the discussion out of the western framework
and invert it to reveal and promote the indigenous perspective and
practices that are currently taking hold globally. For too long
Indigenous development has been written about by situating
Indigenous peoples in a deficit/dependency persona/contexts and
this book seeks to redress this imbalance The book has a broad
scope and flows well across multi-disciplinary areas, covering a
wide scope of theoretical and applied research examining the
challenges experienced around the sub-topics that make up
Indigenous development. The only comprehensive volume that brings
together the voices, experiences and imaginations of those working
and commited to the topic of indigenous development
In the 1980s and 1990s, neoliberal forms of governance largely
dominated Latin American political and social life. "Neoliberalism,
Interrupted" examines the recent and diverse proliferation of
responses to neoliberalism's hegemony. In so doing, this vanguard
collection of case studies undermines the conventional dichotomies
used to understand transformation in this region, such as
neoliberalism vs. socialism, right vs. left, indigenous vs.
mestizo, and national vs. transnational.
Deploying both ethnographic research and more synthetic reflections
on meaning, consequence, and possibility, the essays focus on the
ways in which a range of unresolved contradictions interconnect
various projects for change and resistance to change in Latin
America. Useful to students and scholars across disciplines, this
groundbreaking volume reorients how sociopolitical change has been
understood and practiced in Latin America. It also carries
important lessons for other parts of the world with similar
histories and structural conditions.

their first indigenous president, Evo Morales. Ushering in a new
"democratic cultural revolution," Morales promised to overturn
neoliberalism and inaugurate a new decolonized society. In this
perceptive new book, Nancy Postero examines the successes and
failures that have followed in the ten years since Morales's
election. While the Morales government has made many changes that
have benefited Bolivia's majority indigenous population, it has
also consolidated power and reinforced extractivist development
models. In the process, indigeneity has been transformed from a
site of emancipatory politics to a site of liberal nation-state
building. By carefully tracing the political origins and practices
of decolonization among activists, government administrators, and
ordinary citizens, Postero makes an important contribution to our
understanding of the meaning and impact of Bolivia's indigenous
state.
