This is a comprehensive study of insurrection in Bolivia, from the
late eighteenth century to the present day. In an age of military
neoliberalism, social movements, and centre-Left coalition
governments have advanced across South America, sparking hope for
radical change in a period otherwise characterized by regressive
imperial and anti-imperial politics. Nowhere do the limits and
possibilities of popular advance stand out as they do in Bolivia,
the most heavily indigenous country in the Americas. Revolutionary
Horizons traces the rise to power of Evo Morales' new
administration, whose announced goals are to end imperial
domination and internal colonialism through nationalization of the
country's oil and gas reserves, and to forge a new system of
political representation. In doing so, Hylton and Thomson provide
an anatomy of the popular insurgency that transformed state and
society from below, and chart the history of Bolivia's struggle
from the late-colonial period onwards. Revolutionary Horizons
offers a unique and timely window onto the challenges faced by
Morales' government and by the South American continent alike.
