Revolution! South America and the Rise of the New Left

Kozloff, Nikolas
Revolution! South America and the Rise of the New Left
Basingstoke and New York, Palgrave Macmillan, 2008, ISBN: 9-780230-600577, 249pp
The author describes how recently elected left-wing leaders – such as Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, and Michelle Bachelet - are shaping politics, and documents the profound changes they are bringing about in Latin America, where indigenous peoples are gaining a political voice, a satellite network that promotes a South American point of view is unifying the continent, and a fledgling oil consortium has the potential to affect where and how the West gets its fuel.
