Ranganayakamma's 3 vol set is published by SweetHome Publications, Hyderabad 500 033 and costs something like $12. It is definitely worth reading! I have the author's email address someone, she's first rate. On Venezuela, since I've done research there and have a sister-in-law from there, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that enormous racism against Chavez is taking place in Venezuela by the wealthy and those trying to get there. And Mike is absolutely correct to trash the U.S. press (with rare exceptions) on Chavez. In any case, it is much easier to criticize Chavez within the States than feel the reality of hope that the movement of which he is a part is providing to the poor. Probably the only reason he has been able to survive is the unique social origin of Venezuela's military compared to the rest of Latin America. A 'left' attempt to trash Chavez is a gift to U.S. imperialism (which doesn't mean disagreements aren't encouraged). And, Rakesh, the 'strike' -- well, it wasn't -- it was fundamentally a lockout.
