"In 2005, Bolivians elected 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 crucial new book, Nancy Postero
examines the successes and failures in the ten years since Morales's election. While
the Morales government has made many changes that have positively benefited Boliva's
majority indigenous population, it has 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."--Provided
