A good and interesting introduction to Hugo Chavez's life and the Bolivarian project, based on interviews conducted shortly after the failed 2002 coup. Most of the arguments were quite familiar, although I was interested in the frequency with which Chavez cited Mao, as well as theorists like Negri.
I was quite taken by this quote (p.55): "Some people point to me as the cause of all society's problems, others as if I am the benefactor, responsible for everything good, but I am neither the former nor the latter. I am but a man in particular circumstances, and the most beautiful part is that an individual human life is capable of contributing to the growth, the awakening of the collective strength. That is what matters!"
And, later on the same page, "we should not commit the mistake of taking power away from the people from whom our power derives."
