Protection of Native Races Against Intoxicants and Opium is a book written by Wilbur Fisk Crafts and published in 1900. The book is based on the testimony of one hundred missionaries and travelers who have witnessed the devastating effects of alcohol and opium on indigenous peoples around the world. Crafts argues that these substances have been used as tools of oppression by colonial powers, and that it is the responsibility of the international community to protect native races from their harmful effects. He highlights the dangers of alcohol and opium addiction, including physical and mental health problems, social disintegration, and economic exploitation. The book also discusses the efforts of missionaries and other advocates to promote temperance and provide alternative sources of livelihood for affected communities. Crafts concludes by calling for a global prohibition on the sale and consumption of alcohol and opium, as well as greater support for education and economic development in affected regions. Overall, Protection of Native Races Against Intoxicants and Opium is a passionate plea for social justice and human rights, and a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by indigenous peoples around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
