Colonization and Christianity / A popular history of the treatment of the natives by the / Europeans in all their colonies

A wide-ranging historical survey traces several centuries of European overseas expansion and the intersection of religious, legal, and commercial rationales that facilitated coercion, dispossession, and violence toward indigenous peoples across the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. The work assembles regional case studies and chaptered accounts of colonial practice—missionary activity, territorial acquisition, systems of labor and slavery, and administrative policy—into a comparative portrait of recurring injustices and moral contradictions. It concludes by calling for public recognition of the scale and character of those abuses without prescribing detailed remedies.
