Edith: A Story of Chinatown (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a heart-wrenching and shocking expose of the dire moral climate of Pacific Coast cities in the late 19th century, particularly San Francisco's notorious "Chinatown." It is a product of the author's first-hand experiences and observations as a "tenderfoot" in the Far West, where he was astounded by the open, rampant vice that flourished unchecked, even under the protection of the law. The most appalling fact that the author exposes is the shocking existence of "cribs," dens where young women are held captive and sold as sex slaves. Cribs operated in full view, with inmates on display in lighted windows that lined entire streets, yet were utterly ignored by the local authorities. The author's descriptions illustrate the callous disregard for human dignity and the failure of law enforcement to protect the vulnerable. This book is a stark and shocking reminder of the dark underbelly of a bygone era, and the challenges faced by those fighting against the evils of human trafficking. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333585105_0
