Description: How Indigenous artists in Panama utilized urban art forms to assert their cultural presence and political agency

Brief description: Peter Szok is professor of Latin American history at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. His previous publications include Wolf Tracks: Popular Art and Re-Africanization in Twentieth-Century Panama, published by University Press of Mississippi.

Review Quotes: This highly original and insightful work, by an author with a deep knowledge of Panamanian culture, illuminates an art form that is simultaneously Indigenous and modern, using that art to make sense of the huge transformations affecting Indigenous peoples all across the Americas.--James Howe, author of Chiefs, Scribes, and Ethnographers: Kuna Culture from Inside and Out
