The chapter explores how the discovery of America fuelled utopian aspirations, offering a blank slate for ideal communities. From Penn's Philadelphia and the Mormon Salt Lake City to Winthrop's "city on a hill" and the Jesuit reducciones in Latin America, the New World became the testing ground for visions of religious, political and social perfection rooted in equality, order and divine purpose.
