A riveting personal memoir that shares hard-earned political insights. Ross's journey mirrors that of the post-war American left. From an Anabaptist hippie commune in the 1970s to the present-day failures of the Venezuelan revolution, he charts a trajectory of good intentions and poor choices, of blind faith in charismatic leaders followed by inevitable disillusionment and, ultimately, a solid belief in the ability of ordinary people to make history.
Clifton Ross directed the film Venezuela: Revolution from the Inside Out. He is the co-editor of Until the Rulers Obey: Voices from Latin American Social Movements.
Ross edited and co-translated A Dream Made of Stars: A Bilingual Anthology of Nicaraguan Poetry (1986, Berkeley, Ca: Co-Press); Quetzalcóatl by Ernesto Cardenal (1990, Berkeley, Ca: New Earth Publications); and the first collection of Zapatista materials to appear in English, Voice of Fire: Communiqués and Interviews of the Zapatista National Liberation Army (1994, Berkeley: New Earth Publications).
In 2005 Clif represented the U.S. in Venezuela's World Poetry Festival and from 2005-2006 he reported from Mérida, Venezuela and began work on his movie, Venezuela: Revolution from the Inside Out (2008, Oakland, Ca: PM Press). His book of poetry, Translations from Silence (2009, San Francisco: Freedom Voices), won Oakland PEN's Josephine Miles Award in 2010 and was released in Spanish in 2011 (2006, Caracas, VE: Editorial Perro y Rana) as Traducciones del Silencio. His most recent book was Until the Rulers Obey: Voices from Latin American Social Movements, co-edited with his wife, Marcy Rein (2014, Oakland,CA: PM Press).
