In Part I the book delves into the complex relationship that exists between imperialism and capitalism as the system that dominates the world economy. Part II elaborates on the economic and political dynamics of imperial power in Latin America and the forces of resistance that these dynamics have generated. Part III focuses on the relationship between the United States and Venezuela, which has assumed the leadership in the anti-imperialist struggle.Studies in critical social sciences ;Volume 83.Studies in critical social sciences.Critical global studies ;Volume 6.ImperialismUnited StatesForeign relationsLatin AmericaLatin AmericaForeign relationsUnited StatesImperialism.327.7308Petras James F.1937-267474Veltmeyer HenryMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824328403321Power and Resistance3999607UNINA
