Professor Alejandro Velasco, New York University
Alejandro Velasco is a historian of modern Latin America whose research and teaching interests are in the areas of social movements, urban culture and democratization. He is the author of Barrio Rising, which is based on years of archival and ethnographic research in Venezuela’s largest public housing community. Barrio Rising delivers the first in-depth history of urban popular politics before the Bolivarian Revolution, providing crucial context for understanding the democracy that emerged during the presidency of Hugo Chavez.
