Marta Harnecker's interviews with Hugo Chavez began soon after one
of the most dramatic moments of Chavez's presidency--the failed
coup of April 2002, which ended with Chavez restored to power by a
massive popular movement of protest and resistance. In the
aftermath of the failed coup, Chavez talks to Harnecker about the
formation of his political ideas, his aspirations for Venezuela,
its domestic and international policies, problems of political
organization, relations with social movements in other countries,
and more, constantly relating these to concrete events and to
strategies for change.
The exchange between Harnecker and Chavez--sometimes reflective,
sometimes anecdotal, always characterized by their passionate
commitment to the struggles of the oppressed--brings to light the
process of thought and action behind the public pronouncements and
policies of state.
The interviews are supplemented by extracts from Chavez's most
recent pronouncements on the ongoing transformation in Venezuela
and Latin America, an analysis by Harnecker of the role of the
military, and a chronology.
Chavez has become a symbol of defiance of U.S. imperialism
throughout Latin America. His importance for the future of the
region makes this book essential reading.
