Summary:
"
Bolivia
is an unusual high-altitude country created by imperial conquests and native adaptations, and it remains today the most Indian of the American republics, yet it fully participates in the world economy. It has also seen the most social and economic mobility of Indian and mestizo populations in Latin America. These are among the themes analyzed in this historical survey. In its first Spanish edition, Herbert Klein's A Concise
History
of
Bolivia
won immediate acceptance within
Bolivia
as the new standard
history
of this important nation. Surveying
Bolivia
's economic, social, cultural, and political evolution from the arrival of early man in the Andes to the present, this current version brings the
history
of this society up to the present day, covering the fundamental changes that have occurred since the National Revolution of 1952 and the return of democracy in 1982. These changes have included the introduction of universal education and the rise of the mestizos and Indian populations to political power for the first time in national
history
. Containing an updated bibliography, A Concise
History
of
Bolivia
remains an essential text for courses in Latin American
history
and politics. The second edition brings this story through the first administration of the first self-proclaimed Indian president in national
history
and the major changes that the government of Evo Morales has introduced in
Bolivia
's society, politics, and economy"--Provided by publisher.
