Charles Hardy
We in the US hear fairly often about Hugo Chavez, but not as much about the exciting democratic processes he has helped initiate, and about the political awakening of Venezuela’s poorest citizens. Hardy is a former US Maryknoller who lived for many years in the Caracas barrio of Nueva Tacagua. Written in a warm conversational style, this is his account of roughly 20 years of first-hand experience of a society in transition.
