The White Devil’s Daughters with Julia Flynn Siler

Thank you to everyone who has made Season 2 of the podcast a fantastic success! With this being our last episode of 2019, I have stepped aside and let the show's Patreon Patrons decide who I should invite on the podcast, and they made an excellent choice.

My guest today is New York Times bestselling author and journalist Julia Flynn Siler. A graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, Julia has two decades worth of experience reporting the news from dozens of countries across North America and Europe. Her work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, and the New York Times, and she has been a guest commentator on NPR, CBS, and the BBC.

Julia kindly joins me from the West Coast via Skype to discuss her newest book, The White Devil's Daughters: The Women Who Fought Slavery in San Francisco's Chinatown. In our time together, Julia and I discuss the reasons for the mass migration of Chinese immigrants to California in the 1800s, the slave trade that arose between China and San Francisco's Chinatown long after slavery was officially abolished in the United States, and the women who ran the Occidental Mission Home that rescued and housed thousands of former slave girls who had been brought into the United States for forced prostitution and domestic servitude.
