Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the controversial history of British colonial authorities' introduction of the Contagious Diseases Ordinances in Hong Kong. These Ordinances, ostensibly aimed at controlling sexually transmitted diseases, had the unintended consequence of intensifying the use of Chinese women as sex slaves. The author presents a compelling analysis of the Ordinances' far-reaching impact on the lives of these women, meticulously detailing the collusion between British officials and local authorities in the implementation of this oppressive system. Drawing on extensive historical research, including government correspondence and a commission of inquiry, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the interplay between disease prevention, prostitution, and the exploitation of marginalized communities under colonial rule. Its findings shed light on the enduring legacy of colonial practices and their impact on the lives of vulnerable populations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
