Anti-indigenous violence and neoliberal backlash in post-Evo Bolivia.

Nov 20 2019
The day Evo stepped down, Camacho put the bible on Bolivia's national flag and said that the Pachamama would never enter the government palace again. It's a very clear statement that these indigenous beliefs and these indigenous traditions that infuse Bolivia in a very fundamental way are no longer welcome in governement.

Live from Cochabamba, journalist Jacquelyn Kovarik explores the political reality of post-Evo Bolivia - after the removal of president Morales from power, indigenous Bolivians are facing racist violence from the reactionary right, and a renewed reactionary surge against the social economic policies that challenged inequality and privatization during Evo's time in office.

Jacquelyn wrote the article Bolivia's Anti-Indigenous Backlash Is Growing for The Nation.
