Summary "Bolivia.—Een in wording zijnde Staat aan den Stillen Oceaan" by Emile Barbier is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work explores the complex social, political, and geographical landscape of Bolivia during its formative years as an independent state, particularly after the Spanish colonial era. The narrative examines the diverse population, including various ethnic groups such as the Indigenous Incas, Cholos, and the impact of colonial legacy on their identities and societal structures. The opening of the book introduces readers to Bolivia's historical context, beginning with its independence declaration in 1825 and its geographic positioning as a landlocked country surrounded by Chile, Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. Barbier discusses the country's harsh terrain, underscoring its high altitude and rugged landscape, which contribute to its isolation and limited development. The text highlights the socio-economic disparities and struggles faced by Indigenous populations, detailing their exploitation in the mines and their minimal recognition as citizens. The multifaceted account sets the stage for an exploration of Bolivia's identity and struggles, appealing to those interested in understanding the socio-political dynamics of this captivating South American country.
