{"product_id":"visions-of-transformation","title":"Visions of Transformation","description":"On a wave of revolutionary upheaval in the early twenty-first century, Evo Morales was swept into state power as Bolivia’s first Indigenous president with a mandate to radically transform the country. The ensuing period, known simply as “el proceso de cambio” (the process of change), has been a tension-filled and contradictory process involving progressive transformations, ambiguous continuities, and outright revolutionary failures. Importantly, the contradictions have been just as much ideological as they are material.   \u003cp\u003e By examining and illuminating the contrasting logics underlying opposing theories of revolutionary change, \u003ci\u003eVisions of Transformation\u003c\/i\u003e provides an analytical framework through which to understand and interpret the central conflicts and contradictions of Bolivia under Evo Morales and the Movimiento al Socialismo. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Based on nearly two years of immersive fieldwork, \u003ci\u003eVisions of Transformation\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relation between theoretical production and political practice. Through the contrasting perspectives of hegemony and plurinationality, the book analyzes three specific conjunctural moments—a proposed highway through the TIPNIS, a conflict over representation of the highland Indigenous movement organization CONAMAQ, and the struggle for Indigenous autonomy—to shed light on the primary economic, social, political, and theoretical tensions at the heart of Bolivia’s proceso de cambio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57261155254616,"sku":"9780816552788","price":33.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780816552788_d26bcaaf-4bde-4503-aba1-e59c68f43c5e.jpg?v=1778828454","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/visions-of-transformation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
