In Panama in Black, Kaysha Corinealdi traces the multigenerational
activism of Afro-Caribbean Panamanians as they forged diasporic
communities in Panama and the United States throughout the
twentieth century. Drawing on a rich array of sources including
speeches, yearbooks, photographs, government reports, radio
broadcasts, newspaper editorials, and oral histories, Corinealdi
presents the Panamanian isthmus as a crucial site in the making of
an Afro-diasporic world that linked cities and towns like Colon,
Kingston, Panama City, Brooklyn, Bridgetown, and La Boca. In
Panama, Afro-Caribbean Panamanians created a diasporic worldview of
the Caribbean that privileged the potential of Black innovation.
Corinealdi maps this innovation by examining the longest-running
Black newspaper in Central America, the rise of civic associations
created to counter policies that stripped Afro-Caribbean
Panamanians of citizenship, the creation of scholarship-granting
organizations that supported the education of Black students, and
the emergence of national conferences and organizations that linked
anti-imperialism and Black liberation. By showing how
Afro-Caribbean Panamanians used these methods to navigate
anti-Blackness, xenophobia, and white supremacy, Corinealdi offers
a new mode of understanding activism, community, and diaspora
formation.
