 Venezuelan Politics in the Chávez Era: Class, Polarization, and Conflict
edited by Steve Ellner and Daniel Hellinger
The radical alteration of the political landscape in Venezuela following the
electoral triumph of the controversial Hugo Chávez calls for a fresh look at
the country's institutions and policies. In response, and challenging much
of the scholarly literature on Venezuelan democracy, this book offers a
revisionist view of Venezuela's recent political history and a fresh
appraisal of the Chávez administration.
Steve Ellner is professor of economic history at the Universidad de Oriente
in Venezuela, where he has taught since 1977. His many publications include
The Latin American Left: From the Fall of Allende to Perestroika (coedited)
and Venezuela's Movimiento al Socialismo: From Guerrilla Defeat to Electoral
Politics. Daniel Hellinger is professor of political science at Webster
University. He is author of Venezuela: Tarnished Democracy and coordinating
editor of Post-Bonanza Venezuela, a special issue of Latin American
Perspectives.
