Planeta o Muerte -- Evo Morales and the Revolutionary Politics of Mother Earth - NAM
LA PAZ, Bolivia -- Bolivian President Evo Morales seems testier today than when he told me during a 2007 interview, "For 500 years, we have had patience."
The urgency felt by Morales and the more than 15,000 from 150 nations attending the World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth (CMPCC) was evident from the first sentences uttered by the host and convener of this unprecedented gathering in Tiqquipaya, a small town just north of Cochabamba, home of the historic “water war” that helped sweep Morales into power.
