Webber examines the contradictions of Morales' first term in office. (Verlagstext)

Not only does Rebellion to Reform in Bolivia bring us up to speed about what is happening in the heart of the Bolivian struggle—it also offers enormous lessons for struggles for global justice across the planet.” —David McNally, author of The Global Slump

“This book provides a comprehensive and illuminating look at the dramatic changes that have taken place in Bolivia over the past decade. Drawing from extensive research, interviews, and firsthand experiences, Webber engages the intricate landscape of Bolivian politics in its entirety, assessing the victories, shortcomings, and prospects of the country’s diverse left.”—Benjamin Dangl, author The Price of Fire: Resource Wars and Social Movements in Bolivia .

“Webber’s book cuts bravely against the grain of the fashionable left-wing romanticizing of Evo Morales and the Bolivian process. It meticulously documents the extent to which neoliberalism still shapes Morales’s economic policies…..”—Tom Lewis, coauthor ¡Cochabamba!

In a spirit of politically engaged analysis, Webber ably and admirably exposes the difficult contradictions that must be grappled with….”—Sinclair Thomson, coauthor of Revolutionary Horizons: Past and Present in Bolivian Politics

“Much of his book is taken up with an unabashed Marxist critique of the MAS government for its ‘new’ reformist course; for failing even to reduce appreciably the acute levels of poverty among indigenous people at a time of high national income from gas exports; and for allowing the ‘re-articulation of rightwing forces’.... [Of the three books under review] Webber offers the most informative account of the confrontations of 2008, which many observers at the time predicted would lead either to secession or to civil war.”—Philip Chrimes, International Affairs
