The work of postcolonial scholars direct us to look at the erotics of power in (post) colonial relationships, what Nandy (1983) has called "the homology between sexual and political dominance." Bolivia is one of many examples where indigenous people have been dominated through a very gendered exercise of racial power. In recent years, however, such a formulation of racialised power appears to have been seriously challenged if not reversed by the election of Evo Morales. This presentation, based on a recent book, explores the intimacies of race, sex and power in contemporary Bolivia, looking at the lives of village people as well as national politics.
