The Offshores: A Study Of Foreign Farm Labor In Florida

Author: Kramer, Peter
Date Published: 1966


This report on offshore laborers, predominantly of Bahamian and West Indian heritage, in the sugar cane industry in Florida, chronicles the author's experience living and working as a migrant worker. The document includes detailed information about the current US Labor Department's offshore laborer program, a call for better wages and improved living/working conditions, and a prediction that as the Labor Department's restrictions continue, the flow of foreign workers will dwindle.
