Donald V. Kingsbury examines twenty-first-century Venezuelan politics from the perspective of constituent power-the egalitarian, creative, and inclusive practice of radical democracy. In the aftermath of neoliberal structural adjustment, Venezuelan politics have been increasingly reconfigured according to principles of \u003ci\u003eautogestión\u003c\/i\u003e (self-management), social movement autonomy, protagonistic and participatory democracy, and anti-capitalism. However, inherited and intensifying challenges arising from Venezuela's status as a petrostate, the class and racial divisions that define its society, and the difficulties of defining what Hugo Chávez termed \"socialism for the twenty-first century\" have resulted in a tumultuous process of social change. Informed by ethnography, contemporary and comparative political thought, and global political economy, \u003ci\u003eOnly the People Can Save the People\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how constituent power is shaping collective identity, political conflict, and infrastructural space in contemporary Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald V.
