"Across Latin America, many of the region's 40 million indigenous citizens are raising their similar voices of discontent, angry that greater political freedom and free-market economic policies fostered by the spread of democracy have not lifted them out of poverty. And in Bolivia, they have brought President Carlos Mesa's government to the brink of collapse." (CHICAGO TRIBUNE) This article discusses the growing indigenous rights movement as indigenous activists gain political power in Bolivia and other parts of Latin America.
