description: In the indigenous Andean language of Aymara pachakuti refers to the subversion and transformation of social relations. Between 2000 and 2005 Bolivia was radically transformed by a series of popular indigenous uprisings against the country's neoliberal and antidemocratic policies. In Rhythms of the Pachakuti Raquel Gutirrez Aguilar documents these mass collective actions tracing the internal dynamics of such disruptions to consider how motivation and execution incite political change.
