Waves of Protest: Popular Struggles in El Salvador, 1925-2005 (review)
between the government of Evo Morales and the neoliberal past from which he is said to be making a radical break. Yet Goodale is more adept at saying these things than at showing them. Readers looking for a more empirical or contextualized rendering of law on the ground in Bolivia will find die pickings slim. A handful of vignettes and a few tables detailing kinds of legal cases anchor an ambitiously wide-ranging work. After two chapters devoted to establishing his approach to law, die diird chapter turns to sketching the actors and institutions that compose the legal universe of the province of Alonso de Ibanez, where Sacaca is found. Subsequent chapters take up the experiences of indigenous women who might look to die courts for rights and possibilities not always available to diem in their daily village life, discourses of human rights as advanced by an NGO-supported legal services center in the region, and ideals of development as represented by die personnel and practices of transnational development NGOs in the area.
