Bloomsbury Academic Publishing has awarded a book contract to Bridget María Chesterton's for her edited volume titled The Chaco War: Environment, Ethnicity, and Nationalism. The book is the first to explore the Chaco War (1932–1935) from the perspective of both the rival nations in the war, Bolivia and Paraguay. The text contains chapters from South American, North American, and European scholars. Chesterton also coauthored a chapter with Thilo Papacek (Freie Universität Berlin) titled "Paraguay Guazú: Big Paraguay, Carlos Frebrig, and the Botanical Gardens as a Launching Point for Paraguayan Nationalism." Chesterton traveled to Berlin, Germany, in fall 2013 to research the chapter at the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut and begin writing with Papacek.
