CASIMIRA RODRIGUEZ

Rodriquez was an indigenous Indian who came to power with the startling victory of Evo Morales, also an Indian in a country where the Indians comprise the majority of the population but have had virtually no political power and been discriminated against by Bolivian governments since the country became independent of Spain. Many whites feared the new elective revolution fearing that the Indian’s in government would turn the tables and do exactly what they had done in distributing the nation’s limited wealth—namely direct it primarily to the whites and elites to the relative exclusion of the Indians. Rodriguez claimed that the intention of their administration was otherwise.
