Gerania; a New Discovery of a Little Sort of People, anciently discoursed of, called Pygmies is a 1675 novel by Joshua Barnes. The work falls into the utopian socialism genre. It is set in India, with a race of pygmies living within a communitarian utopia, with Homer as their "lawgiver". In contrast with the policy of closure and occlusion common to the movement, Barnes's pygmy utopia is open and congenial, affable to outsiders.https://scholarlypublishingcollective.org/psup/utopian-studies/article/31/2/366/197756/Joshua-Barnes-s-Gerania-A-Diminutive-Utopia-of SPChttps://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo2/B17502.0001.001?view=toc UMICH
