| Summary, etc. |
This thesis seeks to give the reader a clear picture of a programm which brings Caribbean men and women to work in Canada. Despite some cries of exploitation, farmers and farmworks accept the rewards and disappointments of every farming season. Chapter 1 portrays Caribbean people, undeterred by horror stories, migrating to improve their lot. It also depicts the life of the Caribbean farmworker in Canada and the culture shock he may face. In chapter 2, the bureaucratic process involving Caribbean and Canadian civil servants and politicians is outlined, as is the role of travel agents. Following a brief history of the 19-year-old program, chapter 3 goes on to describe the farmers, the varied tasks of the farmworkers and some of the cultural problems they faced. The chapter concludes that the benefits which accrue to all who are involved will ensure the continuance of the program. |
