Summary
“Ben Dangl takes the reader on an unforgettable and inspiring journey through Bolivia and neighboring countries, providing a window on the revolutionary struggles of the poor and dispossessed.”--Roxanne Dubar-Ortiz
New social movements have emerged in Bolivia over “the price of fire”—access to the basic elements of life for the impoverished majority.
Foreword
We plan to promote this book heavily in the field of Latin American studies and among a growing audience of scholars, students, and activists interested in the new social movements building across the continent. This will include advertising in print and web media, exhibiting at relevant academic conferences, and outreach to scholars and activists across borders.
