The constant political turmoil that Bolivia has experienced throughout its history has slowed the development of Bolivian literature . Many talents have had to emigrate or were silenced by the internal conflict. In recent years the literature of Bolivia has been in a process of growth, with the appearance of new writers. Older writers such as Adela Zamudio , Oscar Alfaro , and Franz Tamayo continue to be important.
Nearly half of Bolivia's population speaks indigenous languages such as Quechua , Aymara or Guarani . The indigenous peoples of Bolivia have a rich oral tradition, as expressed in myths, legends, and stories; these stories generally have not been transcribed in writing.
