Klappentext
The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Venezuela offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of one of the most complex, interesting, and vibrant countries in Latin America. Beyond what appears in the news or the facile explanations of political factions, Venezuelan history holds a wealth of knowledge that is largely unknown. With world-renowned figures such as Simón Bolívar, the largest oil reserves in the world, and enormous crises such as the one experienced between 2016 and 2022, Venezuela is a country of contrasts, great achievements, and great problems. It is not surprising that it was the country where magical realism was invented.
It contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section contains cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country's politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Venezuela.
