In 2005 Bolivia elected its first indigenous president, Evo
Morales. He came to power after a wave of protests,
and his government has sought at every opportunity
to promote the social and cultural inheritance of
its majority indigenous population. It has used gas
revenues to reduce adult illiteracy, provide
pensions and improve the education its very poor
people. It believes this to be pivotal in its fight
against poverty, but how successful has the process
been? As powerful opposition lines up against the
President, how useful a model could this be for
others to follow?
