Venezuela

This book analyses the Chaavez regime from an antiauthoritarian Venezuelan perspective. It debunks claims made by Venezuelan and U.S. rightists that the Chaavez government is dictatorial, as well as claims made by Venezuelan and U.S. leftists that the Chaavez government is revolutionary. Instead the book argues that the Chaavez regime is one of a long line of Latin American populist regimes that-- "revolutionary" rhetoric aside"-- ultimately have been subservient to the United States as well as to multinational corporations. alternative."--Cover.
