Llamas, Weavings, and Organic Chocolate

by Kevin Healy

"Llamas, Weavings, and Organic Chocolate is an extraordinary achievement based on twenty years of scholarship, fieldwork, and grassroots development work in Bolivia. Here is a candid, vivid, and inspiring "inside view" of local projects, which are redefining the meaning of development and forcing Bolivia to come to terms with its rich multi-cultural heritage. It is an essential book for Latin American scholars, students, NGOs, and activists committed to cultural pluralism, grassroots democracy, and biodiversity in the new global order. Perhaps even more so, this book should be required reading at the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, and the IMF." -- Dr. Brooke Larson, Department of History, SUNY-Stony Brook
