a native Hawaiian who grew up next to a sugar mill, is an activist who is instrumental in several campaigns fighting what she calls Big Ag – companies such as HC&S and Monsanto. Lawrence watches the sugar factory belching out sweet acrid fumes and reflects on the symbolism that sugar has represented to her homeland and its peoples: “The big agricultural businesses which grew sugar as a mono-crop overthrew our Hawaiian kingdom and they stole a lot of the lands for their crops and the water for their fields. … A lot of families want to return home and farm but they need water to do that, and HC&S still keep most of the water for themselves.” http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/28/maui-hawaii-sugar-cane-crops-agriculture-hcs-monsanto _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
