Immigrants in Hawaii
They were workers on sugar plantations => back-breaking labour, military-style discipline,
abusive treatments. Plantation owners were dependent on these workers, thus they provided
food, housing and medical care for Asian immigrants. They helped women, encouraged family life,
supported religious and built schools and community centres.
Because they were the island`s workforce, the discrimination was milder than on mainland.
