Críticas:

"Hindery's contribution enriches the scholarship about Bo- livia in the effort to better understand the multiple obstacles that "developing" societies face in terms of self-determination and the fulfillment of basic necessities."--Human Ecology "His volume challenges readers to inform themselves about not only what is happening in South America but all over the world: building pipelines in Papua New Guinea, fracking in Canada, USA and Australia, mining in Somalia, etc."--Letras Femeninas "With impassioned care, From Enron to Evo untangles the compromised connections between indigenous politics, state policies, and petro-capital in Bolivia over the past quarter-century plus. Taking the Cuiab� pipeline as an ethnographic puzzle, Hindery masterfully reveals the fragility and tenacity of extractive dreams, transnational alliances, and indigenous stances across neoliberal and post-neoliberal Bolivian landscapes. A must read for thinking through the paradoxes of energy extraction, indigenous identities, and environmentalisms in our global time."--Suzana Sawyer, author of Crude Chronicles and editor of The Politics of Resource Extraction "From Enron to Evo is rich in detail. Much of the history and geography of this region has not gotten much attention in the English language."--Kathleen Schroeder, contributor to Latin America in the 21st Century: Challenges and Solutions "Hindery's book reads like a detective story for the way in which it meticulously uncovers the machinations and double-dealings of the multinational oil companies, lobbyists, politicians, international financial institutions, and environmental NGOs which played a role in the building of the Cuiab� pipeline, which exports gas through Bolivia's Amazonian region to Brazil."--AlterNative "There are no other recent works on the rapid emergence of new forms of natural resource politics in Latin America, even though this is increasingly becoming a major of area of interest in fields like anthropology, political science, geography, economics, and environmental studies."--Bret Gustafson, author of New Languages of the State: Indigenous Resurgence and the Politics of Knowledge in Bolivia "From Enron to Evo is a very accessible and important book, one that captures so much of what defines contemporary Latin America. It deserves a wide readership."--Hispanic American Historical Review "Derrick Hindery has followed the Cuiab� pipeline for many years and many miles. Along the way he has excavated its complicated history and explored how the pipeline embodies the contradictions and chicaneries of Bolivian neoliberalism, as well as the tensions of Bolivian post-neoliberalism. This book brings together those years of work in a compelling 'must-read' for scholars of Latin America, energy and neoliberal governance."--Anthony Bebbington, editor of Social Conflict, Economic Development and Extractive Industry: Evidence from South America "This volume will be useful for any reader wishing to see firsthand the effects of neoliberal policies and multilevel actors on environmental conditions and on indigenous livelihood."--CHOICE Reviews

Reseña del editor:

Offering a critique of both free-market piracy and the dilemmas of resource nationalism, From Enron to Evo is groundbreaking book for anyone concerned with Indigenous politics, social movements, and environmental justice in an era of expanding resource development.
