Colonization and Christianity by William Howitt
QR code
"Colonization and Christianity" by William Howitt is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book explores the extensive and systematic crimes committed by European powers against indigenous peoples during their colonial endeavors. Howitt critiques the moral inconsistencies of purportedly Christian nations, arguing that their actual practices starkly contrast with the values they claim to uphold. The opening of the work sets a critical tone as Howitt challenges the reader
to examine the real impact of European colonization on native populations. He questions the civilized nature of Europe, highlighting the continued violence, oppression, and subjugation of indigenous peoples, particularly through the actions of figures like Columbus. By presenting historical facts alongside moral objections, Howitt aims to illuminate the atrocities committed in the name of Christianity, laying out a narrative that seeks to provoke a reevaluation of how colonialism is viewed in relation to its professed Christian values.
