Neither Citizens nor Foreigners: Filipino Sugar Plantation Workers in Hawaii, 1900-1940

Monday, October 6th
Dr. JoAnna Poblete-Cross, Lecturer
Department of Asian American Studies
University of California, Los Angeles

As the last lawful and willing source of labor for Hawai'i sugar plantations in the second half of the twentieth century, Filipinos were able to access unique mobility opportunities unavailable to other worker groups. This talk will focus on a specific Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association recruitment program that was only available to Filipino labor migrants, known as return passage, due to their colonial status.
 
JoAnna Poblete-Cross obtained her Ph.D. and M.A. in United States history from UCLA. She was a postdoctoral fellow and visiting scholar for the Department of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her research focuses on issues of U.S. empire and the impact of government structures and labor migration policies on the everyday lives of people who have come under U.S. authority, such as Filipinos, Puerto Ricans and American Sāmoans. Her book Neither Citizens Nor Foreigners: Filipino and Puerto Rican Labor Recruits to Hawai'i, 1900-1940, is currently under review for the American Encounters/Global Interactions series at Duke University Press.

All colloquia are scheduled for 12:30p-2pm in George Hall 213
