| Introduction | I have had the privilege of living in Venezuela for over three decades, raising my three children in the community embrace of Barquisimeto's barrios. In Venezuela I learned to play the cuatro, plant trees, grow food, believe in children, and accompany a pueblo in its struggle for dignity. I have traveled many many roads of Latin America, collecting the tears shed by families of the disappeared, learning the songs left by its martyrs, sitting down at tables of power to ask: no mas, no more. I hope to share the Venezuela I experience in my rural community of Palo Verde, Sanare and the barrios of Barquisimeto where I am a frequent sojourner. It is a Venezuela that struggles, sings, sows, yearns, suffers, dreams and dances, even in the midst of this grave crisis. |
