Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it is necessary for me to write to you immediately. I have something very important to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (ronaldmorr001@gmail.com) for full details.
Best regards,
If you'd like, add me to your Facebook list of friends and then I'll be able to share my network of groups and individuals. I have 2 FB accounts:
This link is for my Rochester area friends and family: http://www.facebook.com/people/Gerardo-Vazquez/1845369446
And this one is for folks and groups across the country: http://www.facebook.com/gerry.vazquez
Send a friend request to one or both.
Hope this helps.
I first learned about the migration of PR laborers to Hawaii some 20 years ago from a book on the Puerto Rican migrations between 1830s and 1900s. There were other migrations in addition to the ones to Hawaii. I remember reading about laborers being shipped to Ecuador and other territories then under Spanish control.
But the Hawaiian Puerto Rican experience was the most interesting because there's a continuing record--in documents and in the lives of the descendents.
I've posted these two entries on Hawaiian Boricuas on my blog American Taino:
- Borikuas in Hawai'i
- Coqui: Endangered in Puerto Rico and Hawai'i
What's interesting is that I increasingly see evidence of the Hawaiian-PR connection. For example, my sister visited recently and, as is her way, made a PR dinner including pernil, rice w/gandules and plátanos. I had recently read about Hawaii's gandule rice and pastele stew--both adaptations of PR dishes. Furthermore, w/its big Japanese tourist trade one can now find Hawaii's gandule rice in Japan.
Anyway, I say all of this because there's meaning in your family's journey. You are examples of a rich but little known vein of the American experience.
The question is what--if anything--you'd like to do about. One steo--which you've taken--is to join this site. But there are others you may want to explore. You could also do a blog. It's amazing what happens when you do these things. For example, I posted about a new documentary about the forced removal of Puerto Ricans from Vieques to the Virgin Islands. I had no idea that that had happened and that there were Puerto Rican descendents there. The filmmaker saw my post and has used it to market her film. She and I are now in touch via Facebook.
Of course, I'd love to see a film about the Hawaiin PR migration and experience.
