Birthplace: Isallavi, Bolivia

Gender: Male
Race or Ethnicity: American Aborigine

Executive summary: President of Bolivia

Former coca grower, and representative of his collective of growers. In 1995 he became leader of the leftist Movimiento al Socialismo ("Movement to Socialism") party. In 2002 Morales came in second in the national elections, and he won Presidency in the 2005 election.

Morales, largely of indigenous ancestry -- like 70% of the population, and quite unlike the traditional leaders of Bolivia -- holds views that are in direct opposition to longstanding American attempts to eliminate the coca crop, and has stated an intention of nationalizing the Bolivian natural gas deposits. He was an ally of the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
