An adventurous, dazzling and original continent-sized history that
brings South America's epic past and fascinating present to
lifePatria tells an alternative history of South America, spanning
thousands of miles and five centuries to the present. Looking
beyond modern borders, Laurence Blair takes as his waymarks nine
countries that can't be found on a map: vanished realms,
half-imagined utopias and dismembered homelands.Blair's journey
ranges from ancient Amazonian city-states and a rebel Inca dynasty
in the jungle - via a Brazilian Wakanda that defied slavery,
Bolivia's landlocked navy, and the Patagonian power that defeated
the Spanish - to fall in with the African freedom fighters who
marched over the Andes, and the New World Napoleon who led Paraguay
to its ruin.Groundbreaking recent scholarship, striking
archaeological discoveries and vivid eyewitness reporting -
including encounters with drug lords, Indigenous leaders, refugees
and former guerrillas - weave a story of survival, resistance and
revolution, restoring South America to the centre of world history.
