Publications
Forthcoming:
Legacies of British Slavery in Australia and New Zealand edited by Zoë Laidlaw and Jane Lydon (Manchester University Press, Studies in Imperialism series), examines the influence of British slavery on Australasian colonial development. This collection explores how slavery-derived wealth, people, and ideas shaped settler societies, revealing connections between British imperial slavery and the foundations of Australia and New Zealand. The volume provides new perspectives on colonization and its lasting impacts across the region.
People Australia
The Australian Legacies of Slavery Project contributes biographical research to the People Australia database, documenting individuals who migrated to Australia with connections to British slavery. Our research identifies how slavery-derived wealth and people influenced Australia’s development, revealing investments in Australian industries and abolitionist influences on colonial politics. These biographies challenge traditional historical narratives and provide crucial context for understanding Australia’s place within the broader history of slavery and its enduring legacies.
