Summary:

"Comprised of a series of interviews conducted by Cira Pascual Marquina, professor at the Bolivarian University, and contextualized by author Chris Gilbert, this book seeks to open a window on grassroots Chavismo itself in the wake of Hugo Chávez's death. Feminist and housing activists, communards, organic intellectuals, and campesinos from around the country speak up in their own voices, defending the socialist project and pointing to what they see as revolutionary solutions to Venezuela's current crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
