Intersections between transnationalism and nationalism in Bolivian anarchism, 1900 -1930
The transnational connections established by Bolivian anarchism with other movements of the region were very important for its emergence and development. The main objective of this article is to analyze how those transnational roots were articulated in a complex -not contradictory- way with the intervention of the anarchists of La Paz and Oruro in a national dimension. We will deal with their participation in the debates and transformations that occurred between the 1900s and 1930s around the definition of the Bolivian nation. In this way, the present article manages to reveal certain hitherto unexplored aspects of the Bolivian libertarian movement, related to its action and ideological positioning on the “indigenous problem,” the Chaco War and the immediate post-war period.
