After reversion of Canal ownership from the U .S . to Panama in 1999 , the construction of Panamanian national identity became deeply tied to notions of development . This thesis explores how the discourse of development is created , circulated and negotiated through important Panamanian cultural institutions . It shows how race and raced bodies became the dominant site for the negotiation of Panamanian national identity in the post -Reversion era . This discourse of development promotes the “myth of mestizaje”—a myth that the nation is homogeneous and without racial difference . Through the example of Panama , we perceive the cracks in the global notion of development as “common sense” and uniformly experienced . |
