    Venezuela Speaks: Voices from the Grassroots

    Venezuela Speaks! Voices from the Grassroots
    Author Meet & Greet

    Sunday, Jan 17, 2010 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
    Sonoma County Peace & Justice Center
    467 Sebastopol Ave, Santa Rosa

    Join Carlos Martinez and Michael Fox, two of the co-authors of Venezuela Speaks!, for their book presentation, featuring short videos of those interviewed in the book.

    While Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez continues to capture headlines, a much larger story involving a wider cast of characters has gone largely ignored. Venezuela Speaks! is a collection of interviews with activists and participants from across Venezuela’s social movements. 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.

    Co-sponsored by PM Press, Global Exchange, and the Sonoma County Peace & Justice Center
