1La crónica definitiva de un territorio inacabable: Hispanoamérica.

Hay una región del mundo donde veinte países y más de 400 millones de personas comparten una lengua, una historia, una cultura, preocupaciones y esperanzas. La conocemos mal; conocemos sobre todo sus mitos, sus reflejos, sus lugares comunes; la pensamos tal como era en otros tiempos. Esta región se llama o se podría llamar Ñamérica -y este libro quiere contarla y entenderla tal como es ahora.

Martín Caparrós lleva muchos años recorriéndola y la ha mirado por todos sus costados: desde sus grandes ciudades hasta sus pequeños pueblos, de su reguetón a sus economías, de su violencia a sus comidas, de sus gobiernos a su fútbol, de su desigualdad a sus insurrecciones, de sus migrantes a sus libros, de sus mujeres desafiantes a sus políticos corruptos, de sus nuevos ricos a sus siempre pobres, de su historia a sus futuros tan diversos. Con todo eso, Ñamérica arma un fresco que nos muestra que Ñamérica no es lo que creíamos.

Libro mestizo, cruza de palabras, Ñamérica es, como antes El Hambre, una crónica que piensa, un ensayo que cuenta, un gran relato montado con ese estilo que define a su autor como uno de los narradores decisivos de la lengua.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The definite chronicle of an endlessterritory: Spanish America.

There is a region in the world where twenty nations and over 400 million people share a language, a history, a culture, worries, and hopes. We know it poorly. Above all, we know its myths, its reflections, its common places. We think of it as in a different time. This region is called or could be called Ñamerica, and this book wants to tell it and understand it as it is today.

Martín Caparrós has been exploringit for years, observingevery side: from great cities to small towns, from reggaeton to economy, from violence to food, from governments to soccer, from inequality to insurrection, from migrants to books, from defiant women to corrupt politicians, from the new rich to the eternal poor, from history to such diverse futures. With all that, Ñamericapaints a portrait to show that Ñamerica is not what we thought.

A biracial book, a cross between words, Ñamericais, like Hungerbefore it, a chronicle that thinks, an essay that retells, a great story put together with the same style that defines its author as one of the most decisive storytellers in Spanish language.
