Reviews

“Brian Wong’s book offers a spirited discussion of historical debts tied to colonialism. While such debts may not require literal repayment, Wong pushes back against the excuse that colonialism has some positive legacy. This reasoning overlooks the enduring inequities wrought by exploitation. Blending philosophical rigor with deeply personal insight, the book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about history and responsibility. A compelling and rewarding read by a young scholar, who invites us to reflect on reconciling the past while striving for a just future.” Prof. Christine Loh, Chief Development Strategist at the Institute for the Environment, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
