Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and customs of colonial Panama during the 17th and 18th centuries. Through a series of anecdotes and personal observations, the author paints a vivid picture of the daily routines, social hierarchies, and cultural norms that governed life in this vibrant, yet isolated, Spanish colony. The narrative centers around the experiences of a young girl named Michinga, whose childhood and early adulthood are recounted in detail, providing insights into the education, social expectations, and marriage practices of the time. The author vividly depicts the intricate details of life within a wealthy colonial household, from the elaborate preparations for a baby's christening to the meticulously crafted etiquette of a formal dinner party. We learn about the roles and relationships between slaves and their masters, and the author thoughtfully explores the changing social dynamics brought about by the rise of independence movements in South America. This engaging book offers a unique and intimate window into a bygone era, revealing the complexities of colonial life and the enduring power of tradition in the face of societal upheaval. The author's personal perspective on this period provides an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the history of Panama and the broader Latin American experience.
