President Evo Morales of Bolivia is making significant changes within his constitution that are creating for a more socialist and secular state. Along with working to grant more rights to the indigenous peoples of Bolivia, Catholicism is not longer the official language.
He wants to take control of Bolivia's natural resources and give the countries indigenous people more autonomy over the lands their lands. He wants to change the inequalities that have been caused by colonization, but he is facing strong opposition, especially from the countries elite.
This is just one example of decolonization. Its refreshing to at least hear the developing world speak of human rights and economic expansion.
