 Please view the Film:

A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama

   And Read:

Julie Greene, “Spaniards on the Silver Roll: Labor Troubles and Liminality in the Panama Canal Zone, 1904-1914,” International Labor and Working-Class History, No. 66, New Approaches to Global Labor History (Fall, 2004), pp. 78-98, Cambridge University Press.  Available in the Readings Folder and on JSTOR at: http://www.jstor.org/stable/27672959

   Then discuss:

How do the experiences of the Spanish and other European laborers at the Panama Canal as described by Greene add to, or challenge, the story presented in the McCullough’s film A Man, A Plan, A Canal, Panama?
