Proclaiming Revolution: Bolivia in Comparative Perspective by Merilee S Grindle
This volume, the result of a conference organized by the Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies of Harvard University and the Institute for Latin American Studies at the University of London, presents new interpretations of the events in Bolivia of 1952 and compares them to social transformations in France, Mexico, Russia, China, and Cuba.
Proclaiming Revolution is an important contribution—the first book of its kind to approach the implications and consequences of the 1952 revolution in comparison with other Latin American revolutions of similar magnitude..[It] permits us to see the possibility of creating a society that is more humane, reconstructing diverse sociocultural identities in order to reinvent the Bolivian nation "sin mayziscúlas"—the plurimulti 'nation' and not 'Nation.' -- Franco Gamboa Rocabado * Hispanic American Historical Review *
