Half a millennium later, the epic struggle exploded in the famous Water War of 1999-2000, marking the collapse of Bolivia's neoliberal regime and its scheme to deliver water-for-profit to a foreign corporation. Yet, as Sarah Hines's magnificent history reveals, the fight for the right to water was the wellspring of popular mobilizations,..
