More about the book

Focusing on the pivotal role of convicts in shaping capitalism in Australia, this book explores their resistance and its impact on workplace relations and institutions. It challenges traditional narratives of Australia's history by emphasizing the convicts' contributions to worker mobilization and political movements. Aimed at both an international audience and Australians with convict ancestry, it offers insights into understanding historical records and serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars of labor history, social history, and colonization.
