| 520 | _a"White Slaves; or, the Oppression of the Worthy Poor" by Louis Albert Banks is a social critique written during the late 19th century. The work focuses on the oppressive conditions faced by the impoverished laborers in Boston, particularly women and children who are forced to work in sweatshops under inhumane conditions for meager wages. Banks aims to shed light on the plight of these individuals and urges society to recognize their suffering and advocate for justice. The opening of the book reveals the author's personal motivations, stemming from his experiences as a city pastor, as he recounts observations of the dire living conditions of the poor in Boston. Banks introduces the term "white slaves" to describe workers exploited by a system that prioritizes profit over human dignity. Through vivid examples, he details the distressing stories of various families working under extreme stress and for paltry compensation, comparing their struggles to historical forms of slavery. Banks calls for sympathy and action to combat the systemic oppression of the working poor, emphasizing the moral responsibility of society to improve their circumstances.
