	Venezuela - History & Culture
		Early colonization in Venezuela was much less rampant than it was in other parts of South America, and the colony was ruled with a loose hand from Bogota.
		Venezuela may have been a quiet outpost on the edge of the Spanish Empire, but it gave birth to the man who would one day turn that empire on its head: Simon Bolivar.
		In the early 1900s, the conflict-ridden nation finally began to get on its economic feet with the discovery of oil, and by the 20s Venezuela was beginning to reap the benefits.

	Venezuela's curse -- its oil culture (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)

		Venezuela's failure to develop a full-fledged tourism industry, built upon its varied and spectacular beauty, is one example.

	CULTURE-VENEZUELA: New Compendium on Yanomami Language
		Venezuela's new constitution, which was approved by voters in 1999, dedicates an entire chapter to the rights of indigenous peoples, including ”the right to an intercultural and bilingual educational system that takes into account their special social and cultural characteristics, values and traditions.”
		The Yanomami or ”children of the moon”, who number around 15,000 in Venezuela and 12,000 in Brazil, are among the 34 indigenous peoples who mainly live along Venezuela's borders with Colombia, Brazil and Guyana.
		The contact may threaten their culture and language, but that should not lead to a falsely romantic attitude, such as asking them to live in a bubble,” said Mattéi.

		Still, the lack of correspondence between skin color or race and culture in Venezuela does not mean that there is no prejudice or discrimination against people of a darker skin color.
		In Venezuela, via the educational system, people were educated so as not to see this cancer known as racism, which has always existed in Venezuela, ever since the impact of the misnamed “discovery” of America, passing through the period of slavery during the colonial period, until the construction of the republic.
		This is a form of racism in the religious realm, which unfortunately our political leaders, the old ones as well as the new ones, of the fourth as well as of the fifth republic,[1] continue to repeat.

		There are a number of very good documentaries on Venezuela, but what they are lacking (in the opinion of myself and my co-director Oliver Ressler) was the people themselves talking about how they see the process, how their lives have changed since the beginning of the process.
		In Venezuela we can go back to the genuine meaning of solidarity, which is to develop ones’ own struggles in common with the struggles of others.
		Venezuela is a very large and diverse country, and so anybody who is active in Europe, be it an engineer, chemical trade unionist, university professor, student or homosexual, can find a counterpart in Venezuela who is a part of the process.
