ESPERANZA SPEAKS. Confronting a Century of Global Change in Rural Panama, 2021

Abstract

Esperanza Speaks examines a century-long process of socioeconomic change in rural Panama through the experiences of one woman, Esperanza Ruiz, and four generations of her family. This intimate narrative shows how ordinary people, through their choices and actions, are affected by and, in turn, can affect how history unfolds. Based on 20 field visits over the course of 50 years, Esperanza Speaks is the result of a dedicated anthropologist's long-term engagement with the individuals of a single community, and a beautiful example of ethnographic storytelling.
