Resumo

This book addresses the savage neoliberal assault on the Bolivian working class over the last twenty years and the incipient forms of building a revolutionary resistance and alternative from below.While it tells the story of the 2000 Water War in the city of Cochabamba and the impact of neoliberalism on Bolivia in particular, its implications are much further-reaching.Oscar Olivera, the principal author of !Cochabamba! and a shoe factory worker and activist leader, insists on an internationalist perspective that links popular struggles across the globe, and especially within Latin America.
