About this book
"One of Bolivia's leading social scientists provides a short, succinct, and clear analysis of Bolivia's cocaine/coca situation. Analyzes attitudes of labor leaders, campesinos (coca growers), and members of political parties. Among numerous significant conclusions, most noteworthy states that both workers and coca growers suffer from a premodern mentality that translates into a basically undemocratic conservative political culture. Argues that these social groups are unlikely to accept the logic of representative democracy or environmental arguments against the production of coca and cocaine. Concludes that only education will overcome this mentality"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
