Venezuelan Anarchism: The History of a Movement covers Venezuelan anarchism and its partisans from the first appearance of anarchist ideas in the period prior to independence through today. Venezuelan political histories have focused almost exclusively upon the various Venezuelan governments and political parties. Venezuelan Anarchism shifts the focus to those opposed to those governments and political parties, those who until now have been nearly forgotten. The book also explains in some detail their ideas, publications, and actions in opposition to Venezuela's ruling political elites and, more recently, Venezuela's authoritarian populists.

La colonización del vastísimo territorio que fueron las Indias occidentales supuso una compleja empresa de intereses encontrados. La explotación de sus recursos naturales exigió abundante mano de obra que los colonizadores españoles proyectaron sobre los naturales de aquellas Indias. El presente trabajo pretende reconstruir el ordenamiento jurídico que sirvió de base para la regulación de dichas relaciones de trabajo, desterrando definitivamente determinados mitos peyorativos y de leyenda negra sobre la España colonizadora. Y es que, desde que Cristóbal Colón presentara a indios taínos ante la Reina Isabel I de Castilla, ésta ordenó, exigió y legisló para sí y para sus hered...
