Personal life and education
editKozloff is the single child of Max and Joyce Kozloff. His mother Joyce is an artist and feminist, while his father Max is a photographer, critic and historian. The family is not religious but states that they recognize their Jewish culture.[3]
Kozloff studied in Britain at Oxford University and received a doctorate in Latin American history from the university.[1][4]
Works
editAn expert on South American affairs, Kozloff formerly worked for the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.[2]
Kozloff's book Hugo Chávez : Oil, Politics and the Challenge to the United States was described as "generally positive in its treatment of" Chávez and his Bolivarian Revolution by Marxist magazine Political Affairs.[5] A book review in The New York Times described the book's analysis as "essentially Marxist" filled with "new-lefty rhetoric" that was an "admiring study of Mr. Chávez", and quoted it describing Chávez as a "potentially dangerous enemy to the United States".[4]
Kozloff also founded the Revolutionary Handbook, described as "a project which aims to inform discussion about how to bring about non-violent revolutionary change" that was influenced "by the Occupy Wall Street Movement".[6] He has also written about Ukraine and East-West relations.[1]
