Water for All
Water for All chronicles how Bolivians democratized water access, focusing on the Cochabamba region, which is known for acute water scarcity and explosive water protests. Sarah T. Hines examines conflict and compromises over water from the 1870s to the 2010s, showing how communities of water users increased supply and extended distribution through collective labor and social struggle. Analyzing a wide variety of sources, from agrarian reform case records to oral history interviews, Hines investigates how water dispossession in the late nineteenth century and reclaimed water access in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries prompted, shaped, and strengthened popular and indigenous social movements. The struggle for democratic control over water culminated in the successful 2000 Water War, a decisive turning point for Bolivian politics. This story offers lessons for contemporary resource management and grassroots movements about how humans can build equitable, democratic, and sustainable resource systems in the Andes, Latin America, and beyond.
The Sovereign Street
In the early twenty-first century Bolivian social movements made streets, plazas, and highways into the decisively important spaces for acting politically, rivaling and at times exceeding voting booths and halls of government. The Sovereign Street documents this important period, showing how indigenous-led mass movements reconfigured the politics and racial order of Bolivia from 1999 to 2011. Drawing on interviews with protest participants, on-the-ground observation, and documentary research, activist and scholar Carwil Bjork-James provides an up-close history of the indigenous-led protests that changed Bolivia. At the heart of the study is a new approach to the interaction between protest a...
Market Justice
Market Justice explores the challenges for the new global left as it seeks to construct alternative means of societal organization. Focusing on Bolivia, Brent Z. Kaup examines a testing ground of neoliberal and counter-neoliberal policies and an exemplar of bottom-up globalization. Kaup argues that radical shifts towards and away from free market economic trajectories are not merely shaped by battles between transnational actors and local populations, but also by conflicts between competing domestic elites and the ability of the oppressed to overcome traditional class divides. Further, the author asserts that struggles against free markets are not evidence of opposition to globalization or transnational corporations. They should instead be understood as struggles over the forms of global integration and who benefits from them.

Ruchy społeczne i etniczne w Ameryce Łacińskiej
Obszar Ameryki Łacińskiej to od wielu lat teren niespokojny zarówno z powodu przemian społeczno-politycznych, jak i ruchów o charakterze etnicznym, zachodzących wraz z rytmem rewolucji, konfliktów zbrojnych, powstawaniem i upadkiem reżimów, trudnymi narodzinami demokracji i procesów etnicznego „budzenia się" kontynentu. Jakie oczekiwania i jakie zagrożenia dla społeczeństw latynoamerykańskich wiążą się z tymi zjawiskami? Czy procesy zmian społecznych i rewolucje w stosunkach etnokulturowych pro wadzą jedynie do konfliktów zbrojnych, czy też dają nadzieję na istnienie wielokulturowego, demokratycznego oblicza Ameryki? Te i wiele innych pytań padło podczas drugiej ...
