Inside the Campaign and Policies of Bolivia's 1st Indigenous President...

The spirit and policies of socialism are sweeping across South America. Cuba's President, Fidel Castro has been at the forefront of this movement since assuming power in 1959. With the recent reforms instituted by Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela, the movement is again gaining momentum at the regional level. Now, with the 2006 election of Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous President, the continent serves host to a trilateral bloc that seeks to challenge the mores of capitalism and America's hegemony over the western hemisphere.

Check out this recent article about Bolivia's new pragmatic leader. Indeed America is taking notice.
