Jim Schultz is founder and Executive Director of the San Francisco-based Democracy Center. He’s lived and worked in Bolivia for much of the past decade chronicling grassroots movements to control exploitation of Bolivia’s natural resources — from water resources to oil and natural gas. With Melissa Crane Draper and other Democracy Center affiliates, Schultz places Bolivians’ struggles in a broader context of Latin America’s experiences with forces of globalization.
