      abstract = {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. Michael  Quinlan is emeritus professor of industrial relations at  UNSW, Australia, as well as holding posts at the University  of Tasmania, Australia, and Middlesex, UK, University. He  has researched and published extensively on the history and  regulation of work (including occupational health and  safety) and worker organisation. 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.},
