This talk will outline the key findings of a recent book length study of convict resistance in New South Wales and Van Diemen’s Land. Based on a survey of court proceedings, absconding notices, newspaper accounts and conduct records Michael Quinlan and Hamish Maxwell-Stewart argue that the scale of male and female convict resistance was not matched by Australian free workers until the 1890s. Hamish will outline the forms that these actions took as well as the issues that triggered mass convict protest. He will end by looking at the ways in which convict resistance contributed to the demise of transportation and the development of political organisation amongst free workers.
Hamish Maxwell-Stewart is a professor of heritage and digital history at the University of New England, Australia. He has researched and published extensively on the history of convict transportation including its connections with slavery and other unfree labour systems.
