Dignity and defiance : stories from Bolivia's… by Jim Shultz

A powerful eyewitness account of Bolivia's decade-long rebellion against globalization imposed from abroad, this book is based on extensive interviews - ranging from a former Bolivian president to indigenous farmers. It portrays stories of a successful challenge to the policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and a nation's fight to maintain its independence and integrity.
