Santilla will discuss her forthcoming book “Black Convicts: How slavery shaped Australia”, to be published by Jacaranda Books on 15 October.
The event is being held both in-person, in QA075 (Queen Anne Building, Greenwich Campus), and online via Microsoft Teams.
Born in Zambia and now based in Australia, Santilla is an award-winning film maker, historian and writer, whose work explores colonialism, slavery, and migration.
Her new book uncovers the lives of people of African descent transported to Australia and reveals the overlooked connections between the convict system, empire and slavery in Australian history.
