Little has been written on this blog about the project Voces Bolivianas in Bolivia, which helps teach the use of this media to members of underrepresented groups in Bolivia. The pilot project in El Alto recently concluded, and there are preparations for the next session of workshops in January. Over the course of […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve re-read the Global Voices Manifesto or in other words why we are involved with the project in the first place:
We believe in free speech: in protecting the right to speak — and the right to listen. We believe in universal access to the tools of speech.
To that end, we seek […]
My latest Global Voices Article “Not So Fast! - Bolivia to Require Visas from U.S. Citizens” is up.
The latest installment of the weekly Bolivian blog summary is now posted at Global Voices Online, including the first image/drawing ever to appear. The roundup is very Evo-heavy, which might make sense because of the freshness of the unique electoral victory and curious anticipation of his administration. However, it seems that the recent […]

I rarely write much about my […]

There’s an interesting new blog from Bolivia, called precisely Blog From Bolivia. Take a look at this tidbit:
I am just back from a two day trip to La Paz. I met with the Bolivian Vice-Minister who has been handling the government’s negotiations with Bechtel….. The Vice-Minister verified that our international pressure campaign […]
The webpage El Forastero did a great job searching and listing all the blogs related to and devoted to Bolivia.
As he noted, many of the blogs are written by Bolivians living abroad or foreigners who happen to be in Bolivia traveling or living temporarily. Most, if not all, are written in English.
