Black Founders: The Unknown Story of Australia's First Black Settlers
Cassandra Pybus
Reveals that black convicts were among our first fleet settlers - a fact which complicates our understanding of race relations in early colonial Australia. This work includes the runaway ""Black Caesar"", who became our first bushranger, and the subversive Billie Blue, who was the first ferryman on Sydney Harbour, after whom Blues Point is named.
