Between 2000 and 2005, Bolivia was radically transformed by a series of popular indigenous uprisings against the country's neoliberal and antidemocratic policies. In \u003ci\u003eRhythms of the Pachakuti\u003c\/i\u003e, Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar documents these mass collective actions, tracing the internal dynamics of such disruptions to consider how motivation and execution incite political change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eRhythms of the Pachakuti\u003c\/i\u003e we can sense the reverberations of an extraordinary historical process that took place in Bolivia at the start of the twenty-first century. The book is the product of Raquel Gutiérrez Aguilar's political engagement in that historical process. . . . Though of Mexican nationality, [she] was intimately involved in Bolivian politics for many years and acquired a quasi-legendary status there as an intense, brilliant activist and radical intellectual. . . . [Her account is] . . . itself a revolutionary document. . . . \u003ci\u003eRhythms of the Pachakuti\u003c\/i\u003e deserves to stand as a key text in the international literature of radicalism and emancipatory politics in the new century.\"--Sinclair Thomson, from the foreword \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaquel Gutierrez Aguilar is Professor of Sociology at the Autonomous University of Puebla. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSinclair Thomson is Associate Professor of History at New York University. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStacey Alba D.
