The telling of history is - most often and too often - from the perspective of the upper social and economic classes. Through this play, Melva Lowe de Goodin takes us into the fascinating lives, heart-rending decisions, despairing moments, romances and precious victories of the African/Black men of Barbados, Jamaica and other Caribbean islands (colonies at the time) who came to build the Panama Canal.
Congratulations, both to the author, as well as to the Afro Panamanian activists who have fought to make visible what has been kept hidden from Panamanians of all backgrounds.
