Recenzii
"Focusing on the everyday experience of Venezuelans, the contributors examine what they see as outlets for ongoing emocratic participation in Venezuela, including cultural activities, blogs, community media and more. While the Chávez regime has its failings, they say, new political spaces and networks continue to emerge. - Survival, June-July 2012
Venezuelas Bolivarian Democracy makes it clear that, while transforming the political landscape, the Chávez era also embodies important continuities with the countrys recent past. The serious problems the country faces and social movements that support Chávez did not emerge overnight; they are rooted in the inequities of the oil economy that took hold during the twentieth-century. This book is a must-read for anybody trying to make sense of the ongoing process of change that is remaking Venezuela. Miguel Tinker Salas, author of The Enduring Legacy: Oil, Culture, and Society in Venezuela
This book evaluates Hugo Chávez Venezuela with a clear eye. Through nuanced attention to new empirical research in a rapidly changing context--who speaks, what people believe, who decides, and how power works--it offers a framework for analyzing the intertwined democratic and non-democratic aspects of politics as it is practiced and lived. This multi-sited approach--looking from neighborhoods to media, activists to government institutions--could be applied with equal success to the post-revolutionary regimes of Cardenas or Castro, the populist governments of Vargas or Peron, and the liberal democracies of the present.
