Hard-Earned Victory in Bolivia

The transformations undergone by the class structure associated with neoliberalism in Bolivia could be, paradoxically, the conditions for the possibility of an emergence of more plural and pluricultural propositions. The exhaustion of perpetually unsatisfied promises of eurocentric modernity, the alteration of traditional hierarchies at different geographical levels (local, region, state, international) engendered by the forms in which globalisation manifests itself in the peripheries, and the – voluntary and planned – return to a state sovereignty which was never more than a creole-urban aspiration, have broken traditional certainties: imaginable futures, classic forms of organisation, subjects of change and their identities, geographical and racial classifications.
