Chapter Chapter 10 in Unfree Workers, 2022, pp 253-286 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter dispels any notion that convicts failed to openly confront their penal managers. Riots were common in female factories. As well as attempts to seize vessels in order to quit the colony altogether, the chapter also documents numerous open revolts beyond the well-known Castle Hill, Norfolk Island, Bathurst and Castle Forbes uprisings. It documents how these collective explosions of unrest were connected to the same issues that triggered other forms of convict dissent.
