Venezuela Speaks ! Voices from the Grassroots
Friday Mar 19, 7PM @ Red Emma's
Red Emma's is thrilled to welcome Carlos Martinez, editor of the new PM Press book, Venezuela Speaks!: Voices from the Grassroots! It's a collection of interviews with activists and participants from across Venezuela's social movements, and we've just gotten the book in stock, and are happy to report that it looks phenomenal. From community media to land reform; cooperatives to communal councils, from the labor movement to the Afro-Venezuelan network, Venezuela Speaks! sheds light on the complex realities within the Bolivarian Revolution. These interviews offer a compelling oral history of Venezuela's democratic revolution, from the bottom up. Don't miss it!
"Michael Fox, Carlos Martinez, and JoJo Farrell cut through the mist that usually surrounds discussions of Venezuela to enter a world of impressive political and cultural diversity. Venezuela Speaks! is a geography of struggle, a sociology of passion, and an ethnography of hope, of the unrelenting insistence that people have a right to control their own lives, and that in doing so, a better world will be made." --Greg Grandin, author of Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism.
Carlos Martinez recently served in Venezuela as the Venezuela Program Director for Global Exchange, where he coordinated dozens of delegations to Venezuela. His articles have been published in Common Dreams, Monthly Review Zine, and on www.venezuelanalysis.com.
