“Isigcina-ntloko sasePanama”—ibonakaliswa yimilo engqukuva, ibhendi etyebileyo, kunye nezinto ezisetyenziswa njengengca—sele kukudala iyinto eqhelekileyo kwimfashini yasehlotyeni. Kodwa nangona isigqubuthelo sentloko sithandwa ngenxa yoyilo lwaso olusebenzayo olukhusela abasinxibileyo elangeni, into abaninzi abalandeli baso abangayiqondiyo kukuba esi sigqubuthelo asizange senziwe ePanama. Ngokutsho kwembali-mbali yefashoni uLaura Beltrán-Rubio, esi simbo sazalelwa kwindawo esiyaziyo namhlanje njenge-Ecuador, kunye neColombia, apho ibizwa ngokuba yi-“umnqwazi wengca yetoquilla."
Igama elithi “umnqwazi wasePanama” laqanjwa ngo-1906 emva kokuba uMongameli uTheodore Roosevelt efotwe enxibe isitayile ngexesha lotyelelo lwakhe kwindawo yokwakha iPanama Canal. (Abasebenzi ababenikwe umsebenzi wokwenza le projekthi nabo babenxibe izigqubuthelo zentloko ukuze bazikhusele kubushushu naselangeni.)
Iingcambu zesi sitayela ziqala emva kwixesha langaphambi kwamaHispanic xa abantu bomthonyama kulo mmandla baphuhlisa iindlela zokuluka nge-toquilla straw, eyenziwe ngamagqabi esundu akhula kwiintaba zeAndes, ukuze benze iingobozi, amalaphu, kunye neentambo. Ngexesha lobukoloniyali ngeminyaka yoo-1600, ngokutsho kukaBeltrán-Rubio,“iminqwazi yaziswa ngabantu baseYurophu ababehlala ekoloniyali…Okwalandela emva koko yayiludibaniso lweendlela zokuluka zenkcubeko zangaphambi kwexesha lamaHispanic kunye nesigqubuthelo sentloko esasinxitywa ngamaYurophu."
Ngexesha lenkulungwane ye-19, xa amazwe amaninzi aseLatin America afumana inkululeko yawo, le keti yasetyenziswa kakhulu kwaye yenziwa eColombia nase-Ecuador.“Kwanakwimifanekiso nakwiimaphu zexesha, ungabona indlela ezibonakala ngayo'ubonisa abantu abanxibe iminqwazi kunye nabathengisi abayithengisayo,"utsho uBeltrán-Rubio. Ngenkulungwane yama-20, xa uRoosevelt wayeyinxibile, imakethi yaseMntla Melika yaba ngumthengi omkhulu we“Iminqwazi yasePanama"ngaphandle kweLatin America. Lo mnqwazi waduma kakhulu waza waba yindawo yokuzonwabisa efana neyeholide nehlobo, ngokutsho kukaBeltrán-Rubio. Ngowama-2012, i-UNESCO yathi iminqwazi yengca ye-toquilla “liLifa leNkcubeko elingabonakaliyo loLuntu.”
Umsunguli kunye ne-CEO kaCuyana uKarla Gallardo wakhulela e-Ecuador, apho umnqwazi wawuyinto ebalulekileyo kubomi bemihla ngemihla.'de wahamba waya eMelika wafumanisa ukuba le ndlela yokunxiba yayivela ePanama.“Ndothuswe yindlela imveliso enokuthengiswa ngayo ngendlela engayihloniphiyo imvelaphi yayo kunye nebali layo,"utshilo uGallardo.“Kukho umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwendawo eyenziwa kuyo imveliso nendawo evela kuyo kunye noko abathengi bakwaziyo ngayo."Ukulungisa oku, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, uGallardo kunye nomseki wakhe, uShilpa Shah, baqalise iphulo labo lokuthengisa“Lo Asingomnqwazi wasePanama"iphulo elibonisa imvelaphi yesi simbo.“Ngokwenene siqhubela phambili nelo phulo ngenjongo yokutshintsha igama,"utshilo uGallardo.
Ngaphaya kweli phulo, uGallardo noShah basebenze ngokusondeleyo neengcali zemveli e-Ecuador, eziye zalwela ukugcina ubugcisa beeminqwazi ze-toquilla, nangona kukho iingxaki zoqoqosho nezentlalo eziye zanyanzela uninzi ukuba luvale amashishini abo. Ukususela ngo-2011, uGallardo utyelele idolophu yaseSisig, enye yezona ndawo zindala zokuluka ii-toquilla kulo mmandla, apho olu phawu ludibene khona ukwenza iminqwazi yalo.“Le keti'Imvelaphi yayo ise-Ecuador, kwaye oku kwenza abemi base-Ecuador babe neqhayiya, kwaye oko kufuneka kugcinwe,"utsho uGallardo, ephawula inkqubo yokuluka enzima yeeyure ezisibhozo emva komnqwazi.
