This article analyzes 20th-century black identity in Panamá by examining how two distinct points on a spectrum of Panamanian blackness came to fit strategically (although sometimes contentiously) under the category 'Afropanameño' at the end of the 20th century. The dynamism of contemporary blackness in Panamá exists around the politics of Afrocolonial (Colonial Black) and Afroantillano (Black West Indian) identities as they have been created, contested, and revised in the Republic's first century. This essay examines the major discourses that shaped 'blackness' in four key moments of heightened nationalism in 20th-century Panamá. I refer to these moments as: Construction (1903-1914), Citizens versus Subjects (1932-1946), Patriots versus Empire (1964-1979), and Reconciliation (1989-2003).
