This book offers a critical reading of the Bolivarian revolution initiated by Hugo Ch vez, analyzing its foundations, contradictions and legacies. Thirteen chapters explore the political, social and symbolic dimensions of Ch vezism: popular sovereignty, revolutionary memory, class recompositions, gender, ecology, geopolitics and citizen participation. Refusing simplistic dichotomies, the author examines chavism as a hybrid and shifting political experience, nourished by aspirations for emancipation but confronted with its own impasses. Drawing on the tools of political science, critical philosophy and Latin American studies, this book questions the real scope of this revolutionary project and its transposability to the 21st century. A committed essay for all those who think about social transformation beyond dogma.
