Descrizione
Riassunto:The purpose of this article is the comparative study of monuments in Cobija (Bolivia) and Rio Branco (Brazil), unearthing the contentious national narratives that each of these two Amazonian border cities sustains as a result of the historical dispute over control of the region that today composes the southern part of the Brazilian state of Acre. We explore the different ways in which monuments on both sides of the border draw on narratives of national pride that allude to this conflict.
