{"product_id":"9781934691182","title":"Roosters at Midnight: Indigenous Signs and Stigma in Local Bolivian Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eBolivia is a nation energetically confronting stubborn legacies of second-class citizenship as part of their historic process of political transformation, which began in early 2000 and culminated in the election to the presidency in late 2005 of Aymara-descended coca grower and opposition leader Evo Morales. The civil unrest seen in those intervening years was a spectacular expression of grassroots disenchantment and a sharp rebuke to the politics of Bolivia’s neoliberal democratization, which began in sweeping structural adjustment measures during 1985.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the largely urban provincial capital of Quillacollo, this book is an ethnographic examination of municipal politics in the context of renewed elections of local-level officials beginning in 1987 after a hiatus of almost forty years. Understanding who these people are, how they think of themselves, and how they relate with each other politically tells us a great deal about the everyday neopopular political ground that has steadily been moving Bolivian national politics toward a greater rapprochement with its indigenous heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"School for Advanced Research Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044124770544,"sku":"9781934691182","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781934691182_p0.jpg?v=1769896989","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781934691182","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
