Description
Crossed Off the Map: Travels in Bolivia explores the turbulent past and contemporary challenges of Bolivia, a country with a profound influence on the wider world over the last 500 years. From its role in powering Europe's economic growth to its impact on globalisation, this book delves into fragments of history largely forgotten beyond its borders. Shafik Meghji journeys through Bolivia's dramatic landscapes and distinct cultures, shedding light on how ordinary Bolivians are coping with issues such as the climate emergency, populism, mass migration, indigenous rights, national identity, rapid urbanisation, and the 'war on drugs'. This insightful book offers a nuanced understanding of a country that has shaped the modern world. Through its pages, Meghji illuminates the complexities of Bolivia's story, revealing a nation both lost in time and still grappling with the challenges of the 21st century.
