I Am Rich Potosí : The Mountain That Eats Men
I Am Rich Potosí, a book of documentary
photography, reveals one of the darkest secrets of Latin American
history. It looks closely at the fascinating culture of the
present-day miners of Potosí, who work deep within the mountain that
was the tomb of their ancestors. Along with 88 finely printed color
plates, the work includes an introductory essay by Eduardo
Galeano, historical quotes and engravings, and excerpts from the Stephen
Ferry's journal.
Bolivia's maritime problem has
been affecting our country since we lost our sea coast to Chile in 1879. Now you can read all documented information
online in The United States and the Bolivian Sea
Coast by Jorge Gumucio Granier. The Spanish version, Estados Unidos y el Mar
Boliviano, is also available online.
