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.
