The work of Juan David Morgan, written over several decades, stands as a valuable testament to the evolution of Panamanian identity and the complex social, political, and economic transformations that marked the country's destiny. Through his novels, essays, and chronicles, Morgan sharply addresses themes such as the relationship between Panama and its canal, the impact of international tensions on the daily lives of Panamanians, and the struggle for a national identity in a multicultural context marked by constant foreign influences due to its geographical location. His work reflects the inherent contradictions in the process of building a modern nation, where historical memory and cultural roots play a fundamental role. His complete works allow for a revisit and understanding of the multiple dimensions of a country that, in its constant change, continues to seek the consolidation of its identity.
