2005年，玻利维亚人选出了他们的第一位土著总统埃沃·莫拉莱斯。在一场新的“民主文化革命”中，莫拉莱斯承诺推翻新自由主义，开创一个新的非殖民化社会。在这本敏锐的新书中，南希·波斯特罗审视了莫拉莱斯当选后十年来的成功和失败。虽然莫拉莱斯政府已经做出了许多改变，使玻利维亚的大多数土著居民受益，但它也巩固了权力，加强了采掘主义的发展模式。在这个过程中，印第安纳州已经从一个解放政治的地方转变为一个自由民族国家建设的地方。通过仔细追踪活动家，政府管理人员和普通公民之间的政治起源和非殖民化的做法，Postero为我们理解玻利维亚土著国家的意义和影响做出了重要贡献。“提供了多个新的见解玻利维亚国家在总统埃沃莫拉莱斯的时间。它是对该国最近的政治和文化历史感兴趣的学者和学生的必读书目。约翰·安德鲁·麦克尼什，挪威生命科学大学国际发展与环境研究教授南希·波斯特罗是圣地亚哥加州大学人类学副教授。她是《现在我们是公民：后多元文化玻利维亚的土著政治》的作者。
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 perceptive new book, Nancy Postero examines the successes and failures that have followed in the ten years since Morales’s election. While the Morales government has made many changes that have benefited Bolivia’s majority indigenous population, it has also 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 nationstate 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. “Provides multiple new insights into the Bolivian state in the time of President Evo Morales. It is a must-read for scholars and students interested in the recent political and cultural history of the country.” JOHN ANDREW MCNEISH, Professor of International Development and Environmental Studies, Norwegian University of Life Sciences NANCY POSTERO is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of California,San Diego.
