The Latin American Revolution, Part 2 of 4
by Asad Ismi and Kristin Schwartz
Robbed and pillaged by European and US imperialists for 500 years, Bolivia is still South America's richest country with its poorest people. In 2005 the nation's indigenous majority elected a socialist government under one of their own, President Evo Morales, promising to use the nation's resources to bring education, health care, sustainable development to its people, and pursuing a policy of regional cooperation with Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil and other neighbors.
