Real rights and recognition replace racism in Venezuela
13 July 2007. Lauren Carroll Harris
Like the rest of Latin America, Venezuela’s history is scarred by colonialism’s racist legacy — Venezuela’s people were dispossessed in 1520 following Spanish settlement. In the following centuries, they were systematically killed and their land exploited. Slavery, which allowed the colonisers to plunder Venezuela, existed until 1854, and at the time of the 1830 constitution neither indigenous people nor those descended from Africa were recognised as Venezuelans.
"Venezuela concerns the future of all of us"
Interview of Vanessa Stojilkovic about her new film "Brussels - Caracas" BY MICHEL COLLON
Why was it important to make a movie about Venezuela?
Vanessa: Because extraordinary things are taking place there. All those visiting this country are thrilled to bits. In Europe, by contrast, we are confronted by pessimism and fatalism in the vein of "We cannot change anything". We see poverty gaining ground. Few victories.

The rising of Latin America - the genesis of 'The War On Democracy'
13 Jun 2007
In the 1960s, when I first went to Latin America, I travelled up the cone of the continent from Chile across the Altiplano to Peru, mostly in rickety buses and single-carriage trains. It was an experience my memory stored for life, especially the spectacle of the movement of people.

Venezuela: US fears spread of Chavez example
7 June 2007. by Federico Fuentes from Greenleft Weekly
Under the banner of “For freedom of speech and against imperialism”, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas on June 2 in defence of their revolution, and as a direct response to the domestic and international campaign being whipped up by Washington in the wake of the non-renewal of Radio Caracas TV’s (RCTV) broadcasting concession, dwarfing all of the opposition marches that had occurred in preceding days.
