These epidemic panics also provoked new racialised labour regimes, affecting the lives of innumerable working people. During yellow fever outbreaks, white authorities and employers preferred workers of colour over 'unacclimated' white immigrants, reflecting a common but mistaken belief in black invulnerability.

The Short Life of Free Georgia
In this brief account, Noeleen McIlvenna endeavors a retelling of the thirteenth colony's trustee era (1732–1752) from the standpoint of the settlement's poor, white, and socially irreverent majority. In doing so, McIlvenna, a professor of history at Wright State University, “challenges the conventional view that Georgia's colonial purpose was based on unworkable assumptions and utopian ideals,” most notably the ban on African slavery (back cover…

Outcasts in White Australia

They are the rejects, legislated out of the social, economic, and political life of the nation. The book should shame white Australians. It extensively documents the grim story of human injustice …
