Available here for the first time in English, Romulo Betancourt has
been a Spanish-language classic in Venezuela since its publication
in 2013. This book is an extended essay on a transformational
figure in the country's history from an internationally-renowned
public intellectual, German Carrera Damas. In this work, Carrera
Damas captures a significant transition for the nation that began
in the 1940s when Romulo Betancourt and his colleagues overthrew
the ruling military dictatorship and established a modern
democratic regime. However, the system Betancourt created
eventually deteriorated after his presidency. Carrera Damas not
only delves into the evolving political thought of a leader who
remained dedicated to his cause throughout a varied career, but
also offers insights on what it takes to create and sustain a
democratic republic under difficult circumstances. As the country's
current economic and political crisis intensifies, this book will
help English speakers understand the cultural context of
Venezuela's contemporary moment as well as set a historical
precedent for the next stages in the development of its position in
the world. Funding provided by the Kislak Family Foundation, Inc.
