The Five Hundred Year Rebellion - by Benjamin Dangl (Paperback)This item is not available

The Five Hundred Year Rebellion is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the hidden history of indigenous Bolivian resistance, spanning five centuries of colonial domination and political oppression.

Through rich archival sources and in-depth interviews with indigenous leaders and activist-historians, author Ben Dangl reveals how movements have leveraged centuries-old oral traditions, memories, and histories to build powerful narratives, testimonios, pedagogies, and performances of native resistance and decolonization.

This book is a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the cultural origins and epistemic complexities of ethnic politics and consciousness in Bolivia's Andes.

With a focus on the decolonizing stories and indigenous actors that have radically reshaped Bolivian historical narratives, Dangl presents a clear and highly readable account of how Bolivia's indigenous peoples are reclaiming their histories and using them for political purposes.
