The Production of Local Knowledge

History and Politics in the Work of René Zavaleta Mercado
This book offers the first comprehensive examination of the work of Bolivian political thinker Rene Zavaleta (1939 84), whose ideas were a key influence on many of the indigenous activists and ideologues who have transformed Bolivian politics and economics in recent years. Luis Tapia, a political analyst who has worked closely with many of the central figures in today's Bolivian government, presents a detailed panorama of Bolivian history that sets Zavaleta's analyses in context and helps readers and activists alike understand the history and ideological currents that underpinned the rise of the neo-indigenous movement in the twenty-first century. "Tapia is the greatest scholar of the work of his countryman." Jaime Ortega Reyna, SciELO Mexico
