“…La realidad boliviana está llena de complejidades en razón del por qué existe el racismo, su manifestación y la presencia en la sociedad (Albó, 2008;Mariategui, 2010;Pacino, 2017;Rea, 2015;Reinaga, 2014;Quintallina, 2009;Wierviorka, 2003). Son ejemplos del común que casi a diario sean frecuentes en la vida de las personas, en el tumulto de la urbe, en el paseo por las calles, en el reporte de los periódicos, etc., expresiones cargadas de rechazo o de odio.…”

El concepto de biopolítica se sitúa indudablemente en las reflexiones contemporáneas y encuentra en Michel Foucault a uno de sus notables representantes en el desarrollo teórico. En ese sentido, las recientes investigaciones, alejándose incluso de las ideas planteadas por Foucault, dieron paso a valiosas consideraciones, como son los casos de Esposito, Agamben y Lemke. Evidentemente, el racismo cobra importancia por la magnitud y, sobre todo, por la actualidad que franquean los límites en la compleja realidad boliviana. La relación entre el racismo y la biopolítica converge en una acalorada interpretación tanto filosófica como política. Principalmente, en las reflexiones del racismo en Bolivia, la biopolítica puede establecer y conectar puntos que no se han tomado hasta ahora en cuenta en lo que se denomina como ideología racista.

Despite decades of often well-intentioned work, public health interventions can fail to achieve desired outcomes within Native American communities. These failures may not be due to a lack of motivation on either side. Rather, they stem from a history of colonization which continues to impact the fundamental structure of public health as well as Native American responses to public health intervention. We purport that there are discrepancies between the tools provided in much of public health’s core training and the reality and needs of work in Indian Country. These discrepancies, including a fundamental lack of knowledge about historical trauma events and the ways their impacts reverberate through communities, families, and individuals, contribute to continued experiences of health disparities by Native Americans. Using narrative, this paper offers examples of this schism and is followed by four actionable steps that individuals working in settler public health institutions can take when approaching work with Native nations and communities.

Through presence or absence, indigeneity has long been at the center of Bolivian politics, culture, and nationalism.1 It carries immense social import. Yet what Indigenous means and who gets counted as part of this umbrella category has never been clear or static. Although Bolivia's racial and ethnic categories seem as etched in stone as the Andes themselves, individual classification is fluid and situational based on sociocultural markers that change over time. These markers include occupation, literacy, dress, language, surname, and residence. Individuals may move through these categories (and not only in one direction) over the course of their lives. This fluidity, combined with changing meaning and the valorization of indigeneity at the national and international levels, has led to wild fluctuations in official statistics on race since independence. The social construction of these categories came to the fore in 2012 when the census reported that Bolivians who identified as Indigenous had dropped to 40 percent of the population, down from 62 percent only eleven years earlier. International observers were left wondering, where did all the Indigenous people go?2
