A collection of political essays and a personal memoir published between 2001 and 2010 in The Continental Blog exploring different aspects of the possible union of the Americas in a federation of nations, following and improving the model of the European Union.
The articles focus on what divides and what unites Anglo-Americans and Latin Americans, why the Free Trade Area for the Americas (FTAA) was abandoned, and when Americans from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego might decide that a new continental beginning is possible.
