A History of Organized Labor in Bolivia

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Bolivia's significant social revolution in the twentieth century, the narrative explores the rise of organized labor during the 1920s amid political turmoil and government crackdowns. The labor movement, despite setbacks from the Chaco War, gained traction through support from political parties, notably the Movimiento Nacionalista Revolucionario. The author, Alexander, examines the labor unions' achievements and challenges, weaving their story into the broader context of Bolivia's dynamic political history.
