The untold history of the Panama Canal--from Panama's point of view. Sleuth and scholar, Marixa Lasso has uncovered a long-overlooked story: to build their Canal, Americans displaced 40,000 Panamanians and erased entire cities, only to convince the world they had brought modernity to the tropics.--
Introduction -- The port and the city -- The Canal Zone in 1904 -- A new regime for old zone towns -- A zone without Panamanians -- After the floods -- Lost towns -- The zone's new geography -- Epilogue.
