Is Venezuela the new Cuba? What are the similarities and divergences between these two revolutionary processes?
With Latin America becoming more volatile than it has been for decades, this book addresses the question everyone, both friend and foe of President Hugo Chávez, is asking: Is Venezuela taking the Cuban road?
In the face of President Chávez's outspoken resistance to the neoliberal project in Latin America, his advocacy of a Bolivarian alternative to Washington's Free Trade Area of the Americas, the accelerating social reforms in Venezuela, and rising hysteria in Washington about the relationship between Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro, this is a fascinating and wide-ranging analysis by Cuba's ambassador to Venezuela.
