Reviews
'This book remains the standard. It incorporates social and economic as well as political history. The book is up to date, to the 2020 elections, with a new analysis of the Evo Morales period. If you want to know about the history of Bolivia, this is the book to read.' Erick Langer, Georgetown University
'For decades, this book has been one of the most important references about Bolivian history. This version extends the study until the tumultuous political events of October 2019 and 2020. The use of updated and diverse information, as well as the consistency of the analysis, assure that the preeminence of the book will endure.' Jose Peres-Cajias, University of Barcelona
