Otherside: The Australian Communist Utopia in Paraguay

By Matthew Boggon

Faced with the prospect of violent revolution or an endless battle for reform, Australian labour agitator William Lane set out to remake society in his own image. This is the true story of how hundreds of working-class Australians, unhappy with their circumstances, departed Australia for Paraguay in 1893 to establish a communistic utopian colony. They would face insurmountable challenges coupled with tremendous triumphs, but most visibly, they would find the humanity they felt Australian society desperately lacked.
