Winner of the 2018 Gordon K. and Sybil Farrell Lewis Book Prize from the Caribbean Studies AssociationWinner of the 2017 Annual Book Prize from the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS)Sovereign Acts explores how artists, activists, and audiences performed and interpreted sovereignty struggles in the Panama Canal Zone, from the Canal Zones inception in 1903 to its dissolution in 1999. In popular entertainments and patriotic pageants, opera concerts and national theatre, white U.S. citizens, West Indian laborers, and Panamanian artists and activists used performance as a way to assert their right to the Canal Zone and challenge the Zones sovereignty, laying claim to the Zones physical space and imagined terrain.By demonstrating the place of performance in the U.S. Empires legal landscape, Katherine A. Zien transforms our understanding of U.S. imperialism and its aftermath in the Panama Canal Zone and the larger U.S.Caribbean world.
