Bolivia: The Evolution of a Multi-Ethnic Society (Latin American Histories)
"Best, and only, general text on Bolivia. It is exceptional in its interpretation and clarity. A must for any student of the Andean countries."--Sonny Davis, Western State College of Colorado"The best survey on Bolivian history published until now.  Recommendable for both students and teachers."--Enrique Sermo, University of New Mexico"Interestingly written, well done, appropriate for both graduate and undergraduate students."--Robert D. Talbott, University of Northern Iowa"Shows the diverse texture of society from pre-Columbian to recent times.  Particularly useful is the discussion of the complex evolution of Bolivian politics since the 1952 Revolution."--John L. Rector, Western Oregon State College"Still the most comprehensive history of Bolivia from pre-Columbian times to 1990.  Especially valuable are the last three chapters."--Oakah L. Jones, Purdue University"Provides quite a valuable overview of the history of what is now Bolivia."--Anthony Christopher Auriemma, University of California, Santa Cruz"Good, basic text."--Ann Wightman, Wesleyan University Studies"Superb.

The update of the second edition was necessary and is extremely useful, including the extension of the bibliographical essay."--Christine Hunefezde, University of California, San Diego"Excellent synthesis of Bolivian history....Highly recommended for those interested in the history of that tortured nation.  Must for all libraries."--Ray Doyle, West Chester University
