Several years ago a young man named Ben Dangl stopped by La Republika Cafe to toss down a beer and ask for some information. Soon he and his partner April Howard become regular fixtures in Bolivia.
The result of their time in Bolivia is reflected in his well known web site Upside Down World a great source of alternative news on all of Latin America.
He also wrote two books. The first is called The Price of Fire: Resources Wars and Social Movements in Bolivia and is a series of essays on Bolivia (AK Press, 2007) and a worthy read.
The second book was released in the past couple of months and is called Dancing with Dynamite-Social Movements and States in Latin American and is getting rave reviews.
Congratulations Ben, we look forward to your next visit!!!
