Step into Panama circa 1907, where work on a great canal is underway. The construction promises to change trade, but it also changes the lives of countless people living in the country at the time: laborers, locals, foreigners and more. Through the eyes of these everyday people, The Great Divide by Cristina Henríquez explores power and exploitation, class and community, family, faith and the complicated history of the area. You might know about the Panama Canal, but you've never seen it through the eyes of people who could've lived and labored there. |
