First published: 1994
Description: "Panama in the late-17th century was essentially an elitist society. This comprehensive study examines that society from the perspective of the quality of the material culture of home environments, drawing comparisons to European cosmopolitan centers. Sees the home and its surrounding urban environment as an expression of social ambition. Contains some reproductions of colonial city plans, several 19th-century photographs and illustrations, inventories, reconstructions of dwellings, archeological remains, and graphs and tables"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
