Hugo Chavez and the Bolivarian Revolution
Chávez Frías, Hugo, Gott, Richard
The authoritative first-hand account of contemporary Venezuela, Hugo ChAvez places the country's controversial and charismatic president in historical perspective, and examines his plans and programs. Welcomed in 1999 by the inhabitants of the teeming shanty towns of Caracas as their potential savior, and greeted by Washington with considerable alarm, this former golpista-turned-democrat took up the aims and ambitions of Venezuela's liberator, simOn Bolivar. Now in office for over a decade, President ChAvez has undertaken the most wide-ranging transformation of oil-rich Venezuela for half a century, and dramatically affected the political debate throughout Latin America. In this updated edition, Richard Gott reflects on the achievements of the Bolivarian revolution, and the challenges that lie ahead.
