Abstract/Description

Description / Synopsis

This article discusses a bribe offered to Sikh delegates sent to evaluate Honduras as a potential place for the relocation of landed South Asian immigrants in British Columbia. They rejected the bribe to report favourably on Honduras and instead reported the unsuitability of the climate and economic conditions for successful immigration. The article also discusses the fate of a group of immigrants who travelled to Jamaica and then onto Honduras as contracted labourers and the difficulties they faced in both countries. Finally it discusses the broad resolution of the South Asian community to oppose any plans to deport South Asian immigrants to Honduras and plans to move their unemployed to farms.
