This, Raúl Zibechi's first book translated into English, is an
historical analysis of social struggles in Bolivia and the forms of
community power instituted by that country's indigenous Aymara.
Dispersing Power, like the movements it describes, explores
new ways of doing politics beyond the state, gracefully mapping the
"how" of revolution, offering valuable lessons to activists
and new theoretical frameworks for understanding how social movements
can and do operate independently of state-centered models for social
change.
