Abstract
ABSTRACTThe recruitment of Pacific Island labourers for Queensland, Australia, 1863–1904, has often been seen through comparisons to the transatlantic slave trade. Yet the fact that men from Antigua, Barbados and Jamaica pushed for justice after one of the most notorious atrocities of the trade has very rarely been noted, their involvement mired by racist reporting of the case. If seen from the perspective of their Caribbean homelands, their words and actions, often misinterpreted by Queensland's courts and media, can be seen as latter-day resistance to enslavement, oppression and racism.
