Simon Bolivar and Hugo Chavez

Black Agenda Report contributors have focused analysis, reporting and interviews on Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution for many years. We hope that this list, which is not exhaustive of BAR’s coverage, will assist our readers in understanding why Venezuela was and is seen as a threat to the U.S. state and why independent anti-imperialist journalism is so important.
