Politics as a dispute of hopes
Author: Álvaro García Linera
In Bolivia, for centuries, a privileged sector with foreign surnames and white skin had assumed that political power was their natural right. The arrival of Evo Morales to the presidency in 2006 marked the breakdown of this moral order. In this brilliant essay, Álvaro García Linera interprets the 2019 coup d'état as a reaction by the right wing against this indigenous-popular rise. With young people as the primary audience, this work presents itself as a historic call to reclaim the leadership of collective hopes.
The Critical Mass library makes available to readers a set of essential texts to interpret the frayed edges of the present and to deploy collective capacities to transform it.
