Synopsis

Marta Harnecker's interviews with Hugo Chavez began soon after one of the most dramatic moments of Chavez's presidency-the failed coup of April 2002, which ended with Chavez restored to power by a massive movement of protest and resistance. In the aftermath of the failed coup, Chavez talks to Harnecker about the formation of his political ideas, his aspirations for Venezuela, its domestic and international policies, problems of political organization, relations with social movements in other countries, and more, constantly relating these to concrete events and to strategies for change.
The exchange between Harnecker and Chavez-sometimes reflective, sometimes anecdotal, always characterized by their passionate commitment to the struggles of the oppressed-brings to light the process of thought and action behind the public pronouncements and policies of state.
Chavez has become a symbol of defiance of U.S. imperialism throughout Latin America. His importance for the future of the region makes this book essential reading.
