About this book
In a period marked by colonial expansion and moral contradictions, "Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers" by Elizabeth Andrew and Katharine Bushnell unveils the harrowing realities of slavery and prostitution in colonial Hong Kong. This incisive historical account confronts the stark hypocrisy of a society that professed Christian values while perpetuating the exploitation of vulnerable populations. Through powerful narratives, the authors illuminate the plight of individuals stripped of their dignity, juxtaposed against the unyielding structures of power. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document challenges readers to reflect on the interplay of faith, morality, and human rights. Engage with this critical examination of societal complicity and the enduring struggle for justice.
