Since being elected president in 1998, Hugo Chávez has become the face of contemporary Venezuela and, more broadly, anticapitalist revolution. George Ciccariello-Maher contends that this focus on Chávez has obscured the inner dynamics and historical development of the country’s Bolivarian Revolution. In We Created Chávez, by examining social movements and revolutionary groups active before and during the Chávez era, Ciccariello-Maher provides a broader, more nuanced account of Chávez’s rise to power and the years of activism that preceded it.

Based on interviews with grassroots organizers, former guerrillas, members of neighborhood militias, and government officials, Ciccariello-Maher presents a new history of Venezuelan political activism, one told from below. Led by leftist guerrillas, women, Afro-Venezuelans, indigenous people, and students, the social movements he discusses have been struggling against corruption and repression since 1958. Ciccariello-Maher pays particular attention to the dynamic interplay between the Chávez government, revolutionary social movements, and the Venezuelan people, recasting the Bolivarian Revolution as a long-term and multifaceted process of political transformation.

Críticas

"We Created Chávez provides a systematic, bottom-up approach to Venezuelan politics from 1958 to the present. It offers a much-needed new perspective on Hugo Chávez's rise to power. Writing in a lively style and demonstrating a thorough command of the issues and personalities in recent Venezuelan history, George Ciccariello-Maher has produced a book essential to understanding the phenomenon of 'Chavismo,' which has attracted widespread interest throughout the world."—Steve Ellner, author of Rethinking Venezuelan Politics: Class, Conflict, and the Chávez Phenomenon

"In the United States, accounts of Venezuela have been fixated on the figure of Hugo Chávez. We Created Chávez breaks with this obsession, instead showing the dynamic and contradictory relationship that exists between Venezuela's president and the social forces that gave rise to and sustain the government. It is required reading for anyone wishing to understand the internal dynamics of social change underway in Venezuela today."—Miguel Tinker Salas, author of The Enduring Legacy: Oil, Culture, and Society in Venezuela

“Ciccariello-Maher’s history of the Venezuelan left is essential to understanding the Chávez era.”―Dorothy Kronick, The New Republic

“Terrific.”―Greg Grandin, The Nation

“[A] crisply written social and political history of the critical decades leading up to Chávez's election in 1998. . . . For those who want to see the revolution continue, Ciccariello-Maher has made a critical contribution to our understanding, which is in and of itself enough to recommend this book without reservation. But more than that, We Created Chávez brilliantly demonstrates how social history scholarship can mine the lived experiences of rank-and-file activists and radical leaders for precious stones, and then set those gems in a visible and rigorous theoretical frame that allows us to see history in motion.”―Todd Chretien, Socialist Worker

“I've been looking for this book for years.”―Steve Henshall, Socialist Review

"In addition to providing readers with an irreplaceable genealogy of the Revolutionary Left in Venezuela and its role in the making of the present, We Created Chávez deftly illustrates the tensions between constituent and constituted power that make the Bolivarian Revolution a dialectical process rather than a presidential term in office. We Created Chávez is also a masterful contribution to a thankfully growing body of work responding to dominant portrayals of the Bolivarian process in Venezuela enraptured or enraged by the figure of el Comandante.”―Donald V. Kingsbury, Theory & Event

“In We Created Chávez, George Ciccariello-Maher offers a masterful ‘people’s history’ of Venezuela…. Through Ciccariello-Maher’s analysis, a Venezuela easily and often ignored both by academia and by the popular press becomes visible. It is this Venezuela from which post-Chávez popular politics will be forged; Ciccariello-Maher offers valuable insight into what the coming years may bring.”―Erica S. Simmons, Latin American Politics and Society

"We Created Chavez is likely to be a point of reference for anyone seeking to assess chavismo as a seminal case of popular resistance to neoliberal globalization, as well as its relevance to twenty-first-century socialism."―Daniel Hellinger, Hispanic American Historical Review

"If . . . you want an engaging book that, in the service of a revolutionist mythos, narrates the actions and ideas of many people often neglected by scholars, you may appreciate We Created Chavez."―Jonathan Eastwood, American Historical Review

5.0 de 5 estrellas Probably the key to understanding contemporary Venezuela

What the author gets right above all else is his “people’s history” method. Most histories favor the great men or the institutes of power that apparently move the world. But what is clearly shown in the case of Venezuela, it is that the power of the forgotten and oppressed people is the engine of revolution. It precedes and succeeds the waxing and waning of any revolution or administration. As such, if any progress is to be made and maintained, it is dependent on the consciousness and will of the people as well as the ability for the state to cede power and responsibility to the people. Or else it will just maintain the oppressive power structures any revolution is trying to destroy.

In the end, as in the author’s pamphlet “Building the Commune”, the only way to save the Bolivarian Revolution from reactionary regression is to bet it all on the Communes. If not and the state becomes disconnected from people power, as the author writes, like Robespierre and Toussaint, the revolution will guillotine itself.

Ciccariello-Maher’s writing lays bare what is missing from present media coverage about Venezuela, the complex voice of the people in the barrios, campesinos, and militant revolutionaries. There are no elite voices romantically trying to convince you how great things were before Chavez, because these people were struggling before Chavez. And it’s their efforts that created Chavez. And the poor and “wretched” (Fanon refs abound in this book) that the rich fear will always be there with, without, and even against Chavez.

Another recommended companion book to this is often cited within this book and it is called “Venezuela Speaks”. It is comprised of interviews of grassroots movements in Venezuela.

And lastly, shame on the reactionary conservatives that have review bombed this book. Ciccariello-Maher’s work will be an indispensable contribution to understanding Chavismo and 21st century Latin American history.

5.0 de 5 estrellas Wonderful for self-education

Don't believe the negative reviews that led to a low overall rating, they're from people ignorant of Venezuela, guided only by their misguided hatred they give one star to many, many books about Chavez, the Bolivarian Revolution, and Socialism generally that present a clear and balanced perspective. This is easy to understand, as reality does not tip in these individuals's favor.
I myself really quite enjoyed this book, I bought it because I am incredibly interested in the situation over in Venezuela, but was equally worried about distortion and possibly misrepresentations from sources such as the Bolivarian government and major media outlets. This book focuses on the people and movements that built into the revolution, and interviews many participants of the movements past and present, as well as painting a very useful image of why these things left Venezuela today, making an effort to prove that Chavez didn't create this movement, he merely seized upon a growing current and empowered it. Definitely worth the read to anyone interested in an impartial view of Venezuela, as both approving and dissenting views are shown, with neither being given precedence over the other.
The book includes interviews from Anarchists and gives an the reader idea of how they interact with Chavismo and the Venezuelan government: with support, if from a critical perspective. Further things detailed are attempts to build Communes, the general expansion of "communal power" (direct democracy) and how Communal Councils function and what some have accomplished, and perhaps most importantly to any modern Leftist it details early attempts at instituting workplace democracy. There are citations provided at the end of the book as well as recommended sources for further self-education.
A very lovely book, all in all.

4.0 de 5 estrellas Worth the Read - Ignore the Hype Behind Ciccariello-Maher
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 23 de abril de 2017

I was introduced to this book through a Latin American Philosophy course I was taking. Upon reading the reviews, I was a bit discouraged thinking I was going to have to read this poorly rated book; however, after diving into the personal controversy surrounding Ciccariello-Maher and his more recent Twitter-Tirades, it became evident that much of the negative reviews were based on this and not the actual book.

Overall, I found the book rather thought provoking and YES, a good read. Ciccariello-Maher employs a "history from below" approach in retelling the events that led to the 1998 election of Hugo Chávez. Therefore, Ciccariello-Maher places emphasis on how the various aspects of the revolutionary movements by people brought Chávez into power. This is opposed to prior scholarship that has largely focused on the perspectives and how those in leadership roles were effected during the four decades covered in the book.

So before you dismiss this book all together, I highly recommend giving it a chance. It truly is worth reading, if for nothing more than to gain a different view of this very complicated and crucial time period in Venezuela's history.

5.0 de 5 estrellas Amazing book!
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 9 de noviembre de 2017

Having read a dozen or so books in the last couple of years about Venezuelan politics, Hugo Chavez, and the Bolivarian Revolution, let me say that none can compare with this one. Ciccariello-Maher is no cheerleader for Chavez, but he is nevertheless a supporter of the revolutionary process unfolding in Venezuela. Through interviews with Venezuelan leftists, ex-guerillas, community organizers and political activists, he gives us a well rounded history of the Chavez years, and an advanced understanding of the continued struggle for twenty first century socialism. Disregard the many, many one star reviews here. They are reactionary fools who have not read the book and are just here to vent against Ciccariello-Maher for tweeting against racism and fascism. When you finish this book, check out Building the Commune as well, a quick short read and a nice update to We Created Chavez.
