For those of you who have nothing better to do this Friday afternoon, the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies at Harvard University is hosting the following event: Crude Matters: The 2002 Coup Against Hugo Chávez and its Aftermath, Lecture by Fernando Coronil.
Considering recent events in Venezuela, the second part of the lecture's title seems a little dated. Maybe it should read ...and the Aftermath of its Aftermath ;-). Nevertheless, the speaker's credentials should allow for an interesting talk. Here is the complete information:
