Venezuela has become a huge source of hope and inspiration for the
Left throughout the world. Some see it as a shining example of how
to begin building a successful socialist state, but Western leaders
see it as a dangerous enemy and accuse Chavez of being a dictator.
This book reveals the truth by examining the country from the
ground up. Iain Bruce explores the political changes underway in
Venezuela at the level of the lives of ordinary people. Through
grassroots investigations and extended interviews, he explores a
series of key transformations in Venezuela: a new social economy
around a network of co-operatives; workplace democracy; popular
education; radical agrarian reform; participatory budgets and
community planning. The result is a clear picture of everyday life
in Venezuela.No other book on the country has this level of detail;
it will be a key text for students of Latin American politics and
social movements and of interest to anyone following the fortunes
of the Bolivarian Revolution.
