America's bitter debt to Malaga: 8,000 recruited under deception to harvest sugar cane in Hawaii

The odyssey begins in 1899 and ends in 1913 "companies and government of the recently annexed Hawaii to the United States undertook a recruitment in Europe of families interested in working in sugar cane plantations, where they were supposed to be owners of a plot of land, with housing, firewood, schools and free doctors. And they found their breeding ground in the rural areas of Malaga and Granada, fundamentally, the great producers of this precious plant", explains in SER Malaga, Miguel Alba, researcher and author of the books "SS Heliopolis" and "The odyssey of SS Orperic", the history of two of the seven ships used for these transfers to North American lands.

Malaga will host from October 29 to November 4 the first organized visit to Andalusia, to Malaga and Granada, of 17 families descending from those emigrants.
