Serfdom in Bolivia
Jan 6th, 2010 by admin
The AP (via NYT) presents a story today about the Guarani in the Bolivian lowlands, who are finally getting lifted out of serfdom by Evo Morales’s policy of appropriating fallow or unproductive land–or land from fugitive landowners and rich American expats–and redistributing it to poor indigenous groups. Great read, great reporting. Kudos to the AP on this one.
