Session Submission Summary

Race and Regionalism in Bolivia

Sat, May 28, 2:30 to 4:00pm, TBA

Session Submission Type: Panel

Abstract

The emergence of the Media Luna as the center of opposition after 2005 brought into stark relief the racialized discourse undergirding Bolivia’s regional divides. This panel brings together an anthropologist and four historians of Bolivia to probe the deep historical roots and contemporary reverberations of these ideas. Looking at Santa Cruz, La Paz, and Chuquisaca in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, these papers probe the long history of regionalism in Bolivia and its links to ideas about race.
