Indigeneity and Decolonization in the Bolivian Andes

Ritual Practice and Activism

Beschreibung

This book explores how Evo Morales's victory in the 2005 Bolivian presidential elections led to indigeneity as the core of decolonization politics. Burman analyzes how indigenous Aymara ritual specialists are essential in representing this indigeneity in official state ceremony and in legitimizing the president as "the indigenous president."
