This book is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This
book presents an ethnographic study of how grassroots activism in
Venezuela during the Chavez presidency can be understood in
relation to the country's history as a petro-state. Taking the
contested relationship between the popular sectors and the
Venezuelan state as a point of departure, Iselin Asedotter Stronen
explores how notions such as class, race, state, bureaucracy,
popular politics, capitalism, neoliberalism, consumption, oil
wealth, and corruption gained salience in the Bolivarian process. A
central argument is that the Bolivarian process was an attempt to
challenge the practices, ideas, and values inherited from
Venezuela's historical development as an oil-producing state.
Drawing on rich ethnographic material from Caracas' shantytowns,
state institutions, as well as everyday life and public culture,
Stronen explores the complexities and challenges in fostering deep
social and political change.
