Download or read book Conspiracy Theories and Latin American History written by Luis Roniger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a systematic inquiry of conspiracy theories across Latin America. Conspiracy theories project not only an interpretive logic of reality that leads people to believe in sinister machinations, but also imply a theory of power that requires mobilizing and taking action. Through history, many have fallen for the allure of conspiratorial narratives, even the most unsubstantiated and bizarre. This book traces the main conspiracy theories developing in Latin America since late colonial times and into the present, and identifies the geopolitical, socioeconomic and cultural scenarios of their diffusion and mobilization. Students and scholars of Latin American history and politics, as well as comparatists, will find in this book penetrating analyses of major conspiratorial designs in this multi-state region of the Americas.

Download or read book Indigenous Struggle and the Bolivian National Revolution written by James Kohl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Struggle and the Bolivian National Revolution: Land and Liberty! reinterprets the genesis and contours of the Bolivian National Revolution from an indigenous perspective. In a critical revision of conventional works, the author reappraises and reconfigures the tortuous history of insurrection and revolution, counterrevolution and resurrection, and overthrow and aftermath in Bolivia. Underlying the history of creole conflict between dictatorship and democracy lies another conflict – the unrelenting 500-year struggle of the conquered indigenous peoples to reclaim usurped lands, resist white supremacist dominion, and seize autonomous political agency. The book utilizes a wide array of sources, including interviews and documents to illuminate the thoughts, beliefs, and objectives of an extraordinary cast of indigenous revolutionaries, giving readers a firsthand look at the struggles of the subaltern majority against creole elites and Anglo-American hegemons in South America’s most impoverished nation. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of modern Latin American history, peasant movements, the history of U.S. foreign relations, revolutions, counterrevolutions, and revolutionary warfare.

Download or read book Travail written by Rosario Lopera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-06-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people who have met Rosario wonder why and how she came to the USA. Others heard many lies and bad things about her. She has kept quiet until years ago. She decided to write her book and tell everybody "who she is." It was not easy to write, and it has taken me so long to finish. I'm not a writer, but I want to keep my book the way I write. I lost my loved one, my fiancé, while waiting in Florida to marry him. A month went by. When I didn't hear from him, I thought that he changed his mind about our wedding, but I was wrong. He was a private pilot who had a tragic airplane accident while I was in Florida with a Spanish family. Why was I in Florida? Because I was coming back from London where I did represent my country Bolivia in the Miss World 1963 contest. My mother told me that she didn't want to tell me because she didn't know how I was going to react. Well, read this book, and you will see how I reacted. It hasn't been easy to write this book because it has too many painful memories, but people don't know about it, and I get some nasty things sometimes because people don't know me. I hope this will help to understand me a little better. Thank God that because I was Miss Bolivia, the doors where open here and there, so I got my green card on my way to London. I was glad to have a green card and come to the USA and be able to work as a secretary typist the third day I was here, and also I was lucky to know people from my country where to arrive to.
