Bret Gustafson Knihy

Focusing on bilingual intercultural education in Bolivia, the book explores how indigenous-led initiatives aimed at reforming the all-Spanish education system to incorporate indigenous languages and knowledge systems. These proposals not only challenged dominant neoliberal educational models but also contributed to broader transformations in educational practices and policies, highlighting the significance of cultural identity and inclusion in the learning process.

Bret Gustafson examines the centrality of natural gas and oil to the making of modern Bolivia and the contradictory convergence of fossil-fueled capitalism, Indigenous politics, and revolutionary nationalism.
