{"product_id":"visions-of-transformation-aaron-augsburger-9780816555208","title":"Visions of Transformation: Hegemony, Plurinationality, and Revolution in Bolivia","description":"\u003cp\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Augsburger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816555206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816555208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arizona Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Aaron Augsburger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451218350335,"sku":"9780816555208","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_720ca20d-3db0-4af4-8863-8d204dafb409.jpg?v=1735876814","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/visions-of-transformation-aaron-augsburger-9780816555208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
