Power and Resistance: US Imperialism in Latin America de James Petras

Power and Resistance: US Imperialism in Latin America: Studies in Critical Social Sciences / Critical Global Studies, cartea 83/06

Autor James Petras, Henry Veltmeyer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 noi 2015
This book concerns the form taken today by US imperialism in Latin America, with reference to the projection of US state power as a means of both advancing the economic interests of the US capitalist class in the region and maintaining its hegemony over the world capitalist system.

In Part I the book delves into the complex relationship that exists between imperialism and capitalism as the system that dominates the world economy. Part II elaborates on the economic and political dynamics of imperial power in Latin America and the forces of resistance that these dynamics have generated. Part III focuses on the relationship between the United States and Venezuela, which has assumed the leadership in the anti-imperialist struggle.

Recenzii

"This is a very important book. Without economic reductionism Petras and Veltmeyer expose the astonishing level of greed, exploitation and inequality, associated with the world capitalist system. They also provide a sharp and much-needed class analysis of the contradictions of both capitalism and imperialism, and the propensity towards crisis that has assumed global proportions and undermined the foundations of the system as well as generating powerful forces of resistance and class warfare."
John Saxe-Fernandez, author of Economic Imperialism in Mexico: The Operations of the World Bank in our Country
