Globalization And Racialization Posted: Sunday, August 15, 2004 Venezuela Voters Turn Out in Huge Numbers Chavez: Despot or champion of the poor? Once in office Chavez used his country's membership of OPEC to push for a boost in world oil prices in order to garner revenues to pay for social programmes. In doing so, he signalled his country would no longer be beholden to the US. Then there was the America-baiting. He enraged the US by making official visits to Libya and Iraq, hobnobbing with Cuba's Fidel Castro, and floating the idea of fixing oil prices in euros instead of dollars. The US, which is heavily dependent on Venezuelan oil, was not amused.

Globalization And Racialization In 1900, the great African-American scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, predicted that the "problem of the twentieth century" would be the "problem of the color line," the unequal relationship between the lighter vs. darker races of humankind. Although Du Bois was primarily focused on the racial contradiction of the United States, he was fully aware that the processes of what we call "racialization" today – the construction of racially unequal social hierarchies characterized by dominant and subordinate social relations between groups – was an international and global problem.
