Arnold August has written an important book on the developing participatory democracy and people's empowerment in those ALBA countries that form the bulwark of 21st century socialism and anti-imperialism in Latin America: Cuba, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia.  Save Cuba, they came to power due to popular anger in reaction to rapacious corporate neoliberalism, which still dominates the US rulers' agenda here at home.  These ALBA countries set the example of the new world that is possible, being built south of the border.
