Chavez Gifts Obama With Book That Assails U.S. for Exploiting Latin America - Political Punch: "At President Obama's meeting with the heads of South American countries this morning, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez stood, walked over to him, and presented him with a copy of 'Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent' by Uruguayan author Eduardo Galeano.
Obama politely posed for a photograph with Chavez, shook his hand, and accepted the gift.
The book, first published in Spanish in 1971, offers a critique of the consequences of 500 years of European and U.S. colonization of Latin America."
