This authoritative book offers a comprehensive assessment of
contemporary Venezuela. Analyzing the multifaceted phenomenon of
Hugo Chavez, leading scholars move beyond his flamboyant style to
focus on the concerns of popular social and political movements.
The book challenges the misleading notions that for several decades
glorified Venezuelan "exceptionalism" and minimized the role of
important actors. After setting the historical and socio-economic
contexts, the contributors explore racial issues, social and labor
movements, electoral politics, economic and oil policy, and United
States support for the Venezuelan opposition. Underscoring the
complexity of Chavez and his popularity, the book highlights the
need to avoid simplistic assessments of the past and present and
offers a clear-eyed understanding of Venezuelan reality today.
Contributions by: Christopher I. Clement, Steve Ellner, Maria Pilar
Garcia Guadilla, Daniel Hellinger, Jesus Maria Herrera Salas,
Edgardo Lander, Dick Parker, Miguel Tinker Salas, and Cristobal
Valencia Ramirez"
