Banana recounts the effects of political measures - such as the so-called ley chorizo - that in 2010 in Panama threatened workers' right to strike and demonstrate.Banana's photographs were taken in 2012 in the Panamanian district of Changuinola, in a journey through the places and stories of violence: from banana plantations controlled by multinationals to public mobilizations, from union organization to families affected by armed government repression.
The book explores themes such as reflecting on the history of western consumption and the consequences of our market choices - while at the same time evoking the product itself and its fascinating industrial history.
