The Production of Local Knowledge: History and Politics in the Work of Ren Zavaleta Mercado Tapia Mealla Luis
This volume presents a comprehensive examination of the work of Ren Zavaleta Mercado (1939-1984), the most notable Bolivian political thinker of the twentieth century. This exploration of Zavaleta's work by Luis Tapia, a contemporary political analyst who has been a colleague of many of the central actors in today's government, presents a detailed panorama of Bolivian history that establishes the context of Zavaleta's analysis of the events of his time, from the revolutionary nationalist movement which took power in 1952 through the military dictatorships that followed it from 1964 onwards to the popular protests that eventually defeated the dictatorship and While Zavaleta did not live to see the triumph of the indigenous social movements that have made Bolivia famous in recent years, his writings influenced many of the activists and ideologues who made today's changes possible.
