Personal life and education[]

Kozloff is the single child of Max and Joyce Kozloff. His mother Joyce is an artist and feminist that sought to remove art "from an elitist context to a more humane, egalitarian view" 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[]

An expert on South American affairs, Kozloff formerly worked for the leftist think tank Council on Hemispheric Affairs.[2] Kozloff has been described as a supporter of Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez by The Heritage Foundation[5][6] and his 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.[7] The New York Times described the book as "essentially Marxist" filled with "new-lefty rhetoric" that was an "admiring study of Mr. Chávez".[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".[8] He has also began studying the tensions between the east and west, Vladimir Putin as well as the Ukrainian crisis.[1]
