Oscar Olivera

This book is about the Bolivian Water War. With a chronology of the actions, communications by the Coordinadora and other texts about the war.

This book tells the story of the Water War, the first great victory against corporate globalization in Latin America.

I really enjoyed the first essay, then a couple at the end under the Gas War section, but the ones in between were mostly reiterations of how bad neoliberalism is. Definitely a great realization of what massive citizen action can do. I hope the people of Cochabamba can reverse more of the negative effects of global capitalism in their future efforts.
