As part of that project activists took control of their own history, starting in the 1960s by reaching back to oral traditions and then forward to new forms of print and broadcast media. This book tells the fascinating story of how indigenous Bolivians recovered and popularized histories of past rebellions, political models, and leaders, using them to build movements for rights, land, autonomy, and political power. Drawing from rich archival sources and the author's lively interviews with indigenous leaders and activist-historians, \u003cem\u003eThe Five Hundred Year Rebellion \u003c\/em\u003edescribes how movements tapped into centuries-old veins of oral history and memory to produce manifestos, booklets, and radio programs on histories of resistance, wielding them as tools to expand their struggles and radically transform society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBenjamin Dangl has a PhD in Latin American history from McGill University and has worked as a journalist throughout Latin America for over fifteen years, covering politics and protest movements for outlets such as \u003cem\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAl Jazeera\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSalon\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVice, \u003c\/em\u003eand\u003cem\u003e NACLA Report on the Americas\u003c\/em\u003e.
