Felix Muruchi Poma is a prominent indigenous rights activist resulting from his experience growing up in a highland indigenous community in Bolivia. His personal history as a miner, construction worker, student and union activist, nonprofit organization, political prisoner and later candidate, and most recently indigenous rights lawyer provides an extraordinary lens to grasp Bolivian struggles for social justice. As a part of a national tour, Felix will be discussing his new book, From the Mines to the Streets: A Bolivian Activist's Life, as well as discussing the evolving nature of Bolivia's processes of social change. He will be speaking on November 6 at 7:30 pm in Enterprise 276.
