Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A revolution is moving across Latin America…

Since 1998, the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela has brought Hugo Chávez to world attention as the foremost challenger of the neoliberal consensus and American foreign policy. While Chávez's radical social-democratic reforms have brought him worldwide acclaim among the poor, he has attracted intense hostility from Venezuelan elites and Western governments.

Drawing on first-hand experience of Venezuela and meetings with Chávez, Tariq Ali shows how Chávez's views have polarized Latin America and examines the hostility directed against his administration. Ali discusses the enormous influence of Fidel Castro on both Chávez and Evo Morales, the newly-elected President of Bolivia, and contrasts the Cuban and Venezuelan revolutionary processes. Infused with references to the culture and poetry of South America, Pirates of the Caribbean guides us through a world divided between privilege and poverty, a continent that is once again on the march.

Very Disappointing, February 14, 2007
Reviewer:Daniel M. Ashman "AppleLover" (Acton, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read this book for a indepedent study in college. This book topic is exaclty what I wanted to study and the author is respected by people I respect, also I read a little of some of his other books and they were good. This was such a pain to slog through, written in very dense academic prose but very uninformative, there isn't much in the way of evidence or specifics. Despite the big words the author uses, and the fancy references he uses it's quite superficial.

Classic Ali: clever, sharp insights, November 15, 2006
Reviewer:F. couget "revolutionary proletarian" (ny) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Tariq Ali's new book Pirates of the Caribbean: Axis of Hope studies the rise of Hugo Chavez's challenge to the neoliberal consensus and U.S. foreign policy, in the context of a continent-wide shift to the left. His many other books include The Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads and Modernity and his memoirs Street-Fighting Years: An Autobiography of the Sixties.

For a small taste, a recent issue of the International Socialist Review contained remarks by Tariq on the issue of U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, in the context of a debate about the Iraqi resistance.
