Denied citizenship, they nonetheless had the right to move freely in and out of U.S. jurisdiction. As a result, Filipinos and Puerto Ricans could seek jobs in the United States and its territories despite the anti-immigration policies in place at the time. JoAnna Poblete's Islanders in the Empire: Filipino and Puerto Rican Laborers in Hawai'i takes an in-depth look at how the two groups fared in a third new colony, Hawai'i. Using plantation documents, missionary records, government documents, and oral histories, Poblete analyzes how the workers interacted with Hawaiian government structures and businesses, how U.S. policies for colonial workers differed from those for citizens or foreigners, and how policies aided corporate and imperial interests. A rare tandem study of two groups at work on foreign soil, Islanders in the Empire offers a new perspective on American imperialism and labor issues of the era"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aAsian American experience. 606 $aMigrant agricultural laborers$zHawaii$xHistory 606 $aMigrant agricultural laborers$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMigrant labor$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPuerto Ricans$zHawaii$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFilipinos$zHawai$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPuerto Ricans$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFilipinos$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aLabor mobility$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMigrant agricultural laborers$xHistory. 615 0$aMigrant agricultural laborers$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aMigrant labor$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xHistory 615 0$aFilipinos$xHistory 615 0$aPuerto Ricans$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aFilipinos$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aLabor mobility$xHistory 676 $a331.5/440896872950969 686 $aSOC043000$aSOC007000$2bisacsh 700 $aPoblete$b JoAnna$f1974-$0901358 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786794803321 996 $aIslanders in the empire$93762382 997 $aUNINA
