Foreword

Abstract

With a world balance of forces in tension, this volume slices the political map in two dimensions, the geographical dimension and the imperialism–socialism dimension (“socialism”, of course, having widely varying meanings). As a region, Latin America is in the forefront of resistance to imperial schemes, particularly those by the United States. Venezuela and Cuba represent leading edges of resistance, and Colombia, a leading edge of U.S. hegemony. Chapters addressing the political economies of these countries form the first part of the volume.
