This book examines how convicts played a key role in the
development of capitalism in Australia and how their active
resistance shaped both workplace relations and institutions. It
highlights the contribution of convicts to worker mobilization and
political descent, forcing a rethink of Australia's foundational
story. It is a book that will appeal to an international audience,
as well as the many hundreds of thousands of Australians who can
trace descent from convicts. It will enable the latter to make
sense of the experience of their ancestors, equipping them with the
necessary tools to understand convict and court records. It will
also provide a valuable undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
tool and reference for those studying unfree labour and worker
history, social history, colonization and global migration in a
digital age.
