The fourth edition of theHistorical Dictionary of Venezuelaoffers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of one of the most complex, interesting, and vibrant countries in Latin America. Beyond what appears in the news or the facile explanations of political factions, Venezuelan history holds a wealth of knowledge that is largely unknown. With world-renowned figures such as Simón Bolívar, the largest oil reserves in the world, and enormous crises such as the one experienced between 2016 and 2022, Venezuela is a country of contrasts, great achievements, and great problems.

This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Venezuela.
