Funded Activity Summary

Transatlantic slavery, the African diaspora and the unfree settlement of Australia, 1750-1850. This project breaks new ground in historical research and will open up areas of demographic and cultural history rarely understood by historians. By reading penal transportation as an aspect of the international traffic in unfree labour and its use as a form of control throughout the British colonies, as well as examining penal systems in relationship to coercive labour management in the Atlantic world, the project will make a significant contribution to research into the African Diaspora, slavery and colonial history. It will also facilitate an understanding the complexities of race-relations in Australia and help untangle contentious issues concerning Aboriginality.
