About the Book

This collection of essays spans the period 2005-2008, when Evo Morales was consolidating power despite extreme opposition by both elites in Eastern Bolivia and the United States. While Hugo Chávez is no longer on the political scene, and the Castro brothers in Cuba represent an older brand of Latin American socialism, it has fallen on Morales to be a new leader of the Latin Left. Arturo von Vacano, a leading journalist, novelist, and commentator on Bolivia over the last fifty years provides, through commentary pieces and essays, an analysis of the precarious first three years of the "Evo Experiment." This refers to the emergence of the first indigenous president of Bolivia, a leader who rose to power from the coca growers' movement in the 1990s to become the head of the MAS (Movement towards Socialism) and eventually establish an economically-viable model of democratic socialism in a country long dominated by racism and foreign dependence.
About the Author: ON ARTURO I am the only Bolivian member of the World Press Society (MacCalester College, MN USA), the best journalism scholarship in the world. I'm the best (and for some, the only one you can trust) Bolivian journalist on politics since Evo Morales. When my EVO was published in Spanish in the United States, President Morales requested two thousand copies and I used the Embassy of Bolivia to send the books to La Paz. Several writers and journalists in Bolivia, Peru (where I spent my first exile), Argentina and other countries have said that I am the best Bolivian writer/journalist of my generation. Among them I quote Carlos Mesa, former President of Bolivia and a very good journalist and critic, Mariano Baptista Gumucio, former Education Minister, writer, critic and journalist, Luis H. Antezana, the best critic today in Bolivia and Adolfo Cáceres Romero, writer, teacher and critic. I have a hundred notes and comments, all positive, about my work on my site, avonvac.com. My book 'Morder el Silencio" was published by AVON as 'Biting Silence' in 1987 and by Ruminator in 2003. I have written and published fourteen books in Spanish. All can be found in Amazon and my site.
