Ku, a Story of Violence and Resistance in Bolivia by Linda Farthing and Thomas Becker

Ku, a story of violence and resistance in Bolivia by Linda Farthing and Thomas Becker. In three dramatic weeks in October and November 2019 the 14 years of progressive change that Avo Morales's Pink Tide government had worked to implement in Bolivia came to a screeching halt.
