Prepared by the National Geographic Society, this portrait of Paraguay traces a bloody five decade war era that decimated the population, followed by a constitutional shift away from dictatorship. It notes a modern balance of industry led by women, scarce men, Guarani language vitality, and cattle ranching in the Chaco as Paraguay’s expanding economic life.
