Based on contemporary research in social, political, and cultural issues in Latin America it blends sociological and anthropological methods to go beyond recognized contexts of central power and emphasize the revolutionary experience of the peasants themselves. Drawing on archival research, newspapers, interviews, and a wealth of secondary sources, the book argues that that the Cochabamba valley mestizo population of rural workers forged their own collective "campesino" identity alongside their revolutionary struggles against regional elites and the state. This newly created identity allowed the campesinos entry into the Bolivian national political arena as dynamic actors, transformed their subjectivities, and changed the existing political culture of Bolivia. It goes on to analyzes the historical status of the revolution and the role of the mestizo peasantry within it in the context of academic and political debates of the first two decades of the twenty-first century. Crossing established borders between history, anthropology, and sociology, Peasant Wars in Bolivia is a fascinating, interdisciplinary exploration of the revolutionary campesinos of the Cochabamba, of Bolivia's nationalist revolution, and of the ways it has been interpreted and understood within Bolivian politics and culture."-- CN - HD1531.B6 G67 2022eb SN - 9781773853987 SN - 1773853988 SN - 9781773853994 SN - 1773853996 SN - 9781773854007 SN - 1773854003 SN - 9781773854014 SN - 1773854011 KW - Peasants : Political activity : Bolivia : Cochabamba Valley : History : 20th century.
