The year of 2006 might be interpreted as an unprecedented moment in Bolivian history, marked by the election of its first indigenous president over a period of intense mobilization. Organized by a majority composed of indigenous and peasant groups, the protests resulted in many deaths and the resignation of two presidents. In that sense, Evo Morales emergence to the Presidency represented to these collective actors the achievement of a deeper process of change, characterized by the idea of decolonization, reflecting those groups empowerment after centuries of submission to the colonizer and the creolle and mestizo elite as well. Nevertheless, the ties between indigenous and peasants organizations and their alliance with the government were put in check in the course of events, distinguished by the refoundation of the Bolivian State, the rebuilding of the political scene and what was perceived as a tyrannical position on the part of governmental authorities. In this work, we intend to understand how relations among decolonization protagonists, self-identified according their ethnicity and class affiliation, are expressed in Bolivia at the beginning of this century. We investigate the permanence of a colonial mentality and its practices during the process.
