Abstract

An editorial is presented on the historical foundation of Asian American surgeons, tracing back to the 19th-century global demand for unskilled labor from Asia, particularly India and China through the indentured labor system. Topics include the origins of the coolie trade, the harsh working conditions endured by indentured laborers, and the parallels drawn between the indentured labor system and slavery.
