Title : Guadeloupeans and Martinicans at the Panama Canal - Story of an emigration - Joseph Jos - Book
Summary :
The 22,000 Caribbean, Martinican, and Guadeloupean dead of the "French Canal," added to the thousands more of the "American Canal," have entered the pantheon of Panama. But for their country, they are marking time at the gates of memory. French history, in fact, has retained from this technological feat only the name of Ferdinand de Lesseps, the financial scandal that shook French society, and the final American achievement. But it has ignored the artisans who, by the tens of thousands, from 1851 onward, set off in successive waves from Guadeloupe and Martinique toward the transoceanic route to be built.
