Abstract
In this age of ‘disinformation,’ the neoliberal political and economic policies of the current Bush Administration and its allies, conservative global media moguls and corporations dominate the social, political and economic structures and perceptions that encompass everyday life. Renowned writer and editor of the New Left Review Tariq Ali envisions a revival of hope for democracy and peace in the progressive leadership of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales. The radical social, economic and political transformations implemented by Castro, Chávez and Morales systematically address historical legacy of socioeconomic inequality, political repression and neo-imperialism within Latin America.
