On June 12, author and journalist Arnold August comes to Octopus Books to launch his new book “Cuba and Its Neighbours: Democracy in Motion” and to speak about recent developments in Venezuela. August, who was in Venezuela just before the April 14 elections, will discuss the Venezuelan democratic system, using photos and videos from his recent trip. He will explore the relationship between the U.S. on the one hand and Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, and Ecuador on the other hand and what the future might hold for the Bolivarian Revolution and the various progressive movements taking place within Latin America and the Caribbean.
Stephen Baranyi (Associate Professor, Graduate Studies Coordinator, School of International Development and Global Studies, University of Ottawa) will also provide comments on the subject and the book.
