520			_a"Heathen Slaves and Christian Rulers" by Elizabeth Andrew and Katharine Bushnell is a historical account published in the early 20th century that examines the dark realities of slavery and prostitution in colonial Hong Kong. The book aims to shed light on the complex moral failures of individuals who identify as Christians but were complicit in establishing and maintaining systems of oppression against vulnerable women, particularly in the context of the sex trade. The opening of the book establishes a sobering introduction to the issues of slavery and exploitation in early colonial Hong Kong, particularly as they pertain to Chinese women. The authors discuss how Western powers, under the guise of civilization, contributed to the systemic abuse and commodification of these women. Various governmental and social systems are examined to reveal a network of complicity that offered “protection” to women while simultaneously perpetuating their enslavement. The introduction highlights specific examples of cruelty and statutory failures that facilitated a thriving environment for brothel slavery, making a poignant case that the moral decay observed in the East can be traced back to the actions of Westerners who have historically traded in both goods and human misery.
