Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes : Ritual Practice and Activism, Paperback / softback Book

Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes : Ritual Practice and Activism Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes: Ritual Practice and Activism explores how Evo Morales’s victory in the 2005 Bolivian presidential elections led to indigeneity as the core of decolonization politics. Anders Burman analyzes how indigenous Aymara ritual specialists are essential in representing this indigeneity in official state ceremony and in legitimizing the president’s role as “the indigenous president.” This book goes behind the scenes of state-sponsored multiculturalist ritual practices and explores the political, spiritual and existential dimensions underpinning them.
