The years between 2006 and 2015, during which Evo Morales became
Bolivia's first indigenous president, have been described as a time
of democratic and cultural revolution, world renewal (Pachakuti),
reconstituted neoliberalism, or simply "the process of change."
In A Revolution in Fragments Mark Goodale unpacks these
various analytical and ideological frameworks to reveal the
fragmentary and contested nature of Bolivia's radical experiments in
pluralism, ethnic politics, and socioeconomic planning. Privileging
the voices of social movement leaders, students, indigenous
intellectuals, women's rights activists, and many others, Goodale
uses contemporary Bolivia as an ideal case study with which to
theorize the role that political agency, identity, and economic
equality play within movements for justice and structural change.
