Product Description

Product Description

Since 1998, the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela has brought Hugo Chavez to world attention as the foremost challenger of the neoliberal consensus and America foreign policy. While Chavez's radical social-democratic reforms have brought him worldwide acclaim among the poor, he has attracted intense hostility from Venezuelan elites and Western governments. Drawing on first-hand experience of Venezuela and meetings with Chavez, Tariq Ali shows how Chavez's views have polarized Latin America and examines the hostility directed against his administration. Ali discusses the enormous influence of Fidel Castro on both Chavez and Evo Morales, the newly-elected President of Bolivia, and contrasts the Cuban and Venezuelan revolutionary processes. Infused with references to the culture and poetry of South America, "Pirates of the Caribbean" guides us through a world divided between privilege and poverty, a continent that is once again on the march.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passionate and angry and surgical, 28 Nov 2006
By Chris Newman "stopher-z" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great book for getting an up to date non-corporately biased view of what is happening in South America. For more detail get some Richard Gott books but this is a great read.

Has interesting bits on the western journalists who inhabit this part of the world, along with interesting interviews and speeches in the appendices.

Tariq is unashamedly angry in this book, whilst staying in control to give a damning view of the Washington Consensus and those who support it.
