Lecture on Morales - Thursday
The Inter-American Development Bank is sponsoring a lecture "In Evo Morales' Bolivia" by the contemporary Bolivian writer Jose Edmundo Paz Soldán this Thursday, March 23 at 6:30 pm. in Washington, DC.
The talk will address the momentous changes taking place in Bolivia - discussing Morales' ascent from leader of the coca growers' union to head of the powerful MAS party, and looking at the MAS' attempt to bridge the radical left and the moderate center. It will also analyze Bolivia's changes in the larger context of the Latin American tilt to the left.
Paz Soldán currently teaches at Cornell University, but also moonlighted as a political analyst on Bolivian television during the 2005 elections. He is also a member of the Bolivian blogosphere and blogs at Río Fugitivo.
