Resumo(s)
In this article, one can bring together two different societies in
which Madeiran islanders became a distinct local group after migrating
there as contract labourers: British Guyana and Hawai‘i.
Both societies rested on a labour-devouring sugar economy that,
at different moments, made use of contingents of Portuguese islanders
from Madeira and, to a lesser degree, from the Azores. In
the Guyanas, the Portuguese were recruited from the mid-1830s,
after the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and before the
large-scale arrival of indentured South Asian labourers. In Hawai‘i,
the Portuguese were contracted from the late 1870s, under the
sponsorship of the Hawaiian Board of Emigration and with the
support of the Planters Association, in a context in which political
debates were raging about which groups should provide both the
labour force for the new plantation economy and a replacement
population to counter the effects of the collapse of the indigenous
population
