Latin Left Turn
EVIATAR, DAPHNE | December 25, 2006 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the reelection of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. The landslide victory is seen by the author as marking a leftward shift in Latin American politics and movement away from U.S. influence. Chávez is revered by the poor for his economic, educational, food, fuel, and healthcare programs. The economy is thriving, and despite the Venezuelan leader's socialist rhetoric, the author thinks he seems more reformer than Castro-style revolutionary.
