This new edition reflects the major changes in Bolivia since publication of the first edition: the collapse of the Bolivian economy; the rise of an illegal economy based on cocaine; the strengthening of the democratic regime; and the growth in the political and social power of the `Mestizos' in the middle class (the mixed Indian-white population), a new phenomenon in Latin America.

"Best, and only, general text on Bolivia. It is exceptional in its interpretation and clarity. A must for any student of the Andean countries."--Sonny Davis, Western State College of Colorado "The best survey on Bolivian history published until now. Recommendable for both students and teachers."--Enrique Sermo, University of New Mexico "Interestingly written, well done, appropriate for both graduate and undergraduate students."--Robert D. Talbott, University of Northern Iowa "Shows the diverse texture of society from pre-Columbian to recent times. Particularly useful is the discussion of the complex evolution of Bolivian politics since the 1952 Revolution."--John L. Rector, Western Oregon State College "Still the most comprehensive history of Bolivia from pre-Columbian times to 1990. Especially valuable are the last three chapters."--Oakah L. Jones, Purdue University "Provides quite a valuable overview of the history of what is now Bolivia."--Anthony Christopher Auriemma, University of California, Santa Cruz "Good, basic text."--Ann Wightman, Wesleyan University Studies "Superb. A much-needed work by a naster of the subject."--Eugene G. SHarkey, Westminster College "Still the best synthesis of Bolivian history. The update of the second edition was necessary and is extremely useful, including the extension of the bibliographical essay."--Christine Hunefezde, University of California, San Diego "Excellent synthesis of Bolivian history....Highly recommended for those interested in the history of that tortured nation. Must for all libraries."--Ray Doyle, West Chester University "Impressive: an exemplary country."--Ray Bromley, SUNY, Albany "Excellent....Very helpful."--Justine Peter, Cardinal Stritch College "The author has greatly expanded the post-1980 period compared to its first edition. Moreover it has been carefully rethought and the bibliography appropriately altered."--Douglas W. Richmond, University of Texas, Arlington "Thoughtfully updated, and contains an expanded bibliography."--Nils Jacobsen, University of Illinois, Urbana "The best national history of Bolivia bar none; and a model for that difficult genre of national histories. Invaluable for students and general readers."--Alan Knight, Oxford University, currently at the University of Texas at Austin "Well-researched and complete."--Otoniel Cabrero, Universidad Adventisto Praise for the first edition: "An excellent overview."--Oakah L. Jones, Purdue University "Admirably well constructed, lucidly written, and long overdue."--Simon Collier, University of Essex "A worthwhile and necessary addition to [Oxford's] Latin American Histories."--Edward D. Elsasser, Western Michigan University "An excellent book."--Douglas W. Richmond, University of Texas at Arlington "Offers sharp insights into a complex subject with careful historiography."--N.C. Polos, University of La Verne "Excellent."--Choice "An excellent book on colorful but little-known Bolivia."--Booknotes "The authoritative history of Bolivia in English. Balanced, Insightful, cognizant of major trends and as close to necessary for any student of Bolivia as a book can be."--L.A. CLayton, University of Alabama
The Evolution of a Multi-Ethnic Society.The history of the peoples of Bolivia is one of the more complex and fascinating of historical evolutions. A society created by imperial conquests and native adaptations, it remains today a nation dominated by its peasantry, yet fully participating in the world economy.
