Reviews
“Anyone interested in the inspiring social movement struggles in Latin America should read this book.” Susan Spronk, Z Magazine “The book is a triumph in every respect...Dangl is one of those rarities, a writer blessed with the gift of the economical use of language, capable of skillfully interweaving abstract theory, political and social history…” Richard Estes, American Leftist “Dangl rides buses into Bolivia's altiplano, chews coca leaves in a Potosi park, and gulps his coffee as a cloud of tear gas descends on him in Buenos Aires... The Price of Fire...brings to mind John Reed's Insurgent Mexico.” Conn Hallinan, CounterPunch “This book offers a glimpse into the rich fabric of Bolivian social movements.” Angela Day, The Dominion “An important contribution to the debate on the dynamics of social change, the role of the new left governments, and the question of state power…” Federico Fuentes, Monthly Review Zine “A detailed and first-hand study of popular social movement in Bolivia.” Rene Wadlow, Transnational Perspectives “The Price of Fire…fills you with hope and examples of how people are organizing and fighting back.” James Generic, Wooden Shoe Books
