Книга Майка Гонсалеса - Hugo Chavez. Socialist for the Twenty-first Century
Hugo Chavez was nothing if not controversial. In Venezuela, his presidency provoked deep divisions, or rather exposed divisions that already existed. When he died, on 5 March 2013, a majority of Venezuelans mourned his passing with genuine grief; but there were harsh reactions to the news of his illness from that section of the population who had opposed him throughout his presidency. Outside the country, opinions were equally polarised. The Spanish press was consistently critical of him, and in the United States successive administration alleged that he was part of the ‘Axis of Evil’. But there was an equally large, if not larger, number of people for whom his scorn for protocol, his eloquent attacks on neo-liberalism, his solidarity with the struggles of the oppressed, earned him their admiration and support.

Книга Janet Afary и Kevin B. Anderson - Foucault and the Iranian Revolution
In 1978, as the protests against the Shah of Iran reached their zenith, philosopher M. Foucault was working as a special correspondent for Corriere della Sera and le Nouvel Observateur. During his little-known stint as a journalist, Foucault traveled to Iran, met with leaders like Ayatollah Khomeini, and wrote a series of articles on the revolution. Foucault and the Iranian Revolution is the first book-length analysis of these essays on Iran, the majority of which have never before appeared in English. Accompanying the analysis are annotated translations of the Iran writings in their entirety and the at times blistering responses from such contemporaneous critics as Middle East scholar Maxime Rodinson as well as comments on the revolution by feminist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir.
In this important and controversial account, Janet Afary and Kevin B. Anderson illuminate Foucault's support of the Islamist movement. They also show how Foucault's experiences in Iran contributed to a turning point in his thought, influencing his ideas on the Enlightenment, homosexuality, and his search for political spirituality. Foucault and the Iranian Revolution informs current discussion on the divisions that have reemerged among Western intellectuals over the response to radical Islamism after 11 September.
