Very interesting real-life perspectives.. being torn between the comforts that colonization provides and knowing / understanding the disparity and bigotry.

Great piece of in-depth journalism. It’s impressive how people become attached to the places were they were born and where they work, and how nationalistic interests can be antagonistic to those attachments. This situation was used by Hitler to invade the Sudetenland is what was then Czechoslovakia.

As I worked on completing this story, i ran across a number of former Zonians who still dislike Fmr. President Carter. From their perspective, Panamanians are still not capable of properly managing the Canal.
