Excerpt from The South Sea Islanders and the Queensland Labour Trade: A Record of Voyages and Experiences in the Western Pacific, From 1875 to 1891 Captain Wawn was engaged in recruiting such labourers, from 1875, when they were first introduced, down to I89I, when the Queensland Government legislated against the importation of Kanakas into the Colony, and their employment there. His narrative is that of a practical man, than whom none could be better acquainted with the subject he treats of. He has recorded much that is interesting relative to numerous little known islands, and the tale he has to tell may well be regarded as a valuable contribution to the history of Queensland and the Western Pacific.

"For over forty years, the cotton and sugar plantations of Queensland were worked by indentured labour recruited from the South Sea Islands. Recruited? Kidnapped would probably be a more accurate word, though many of the Kanakas, as the islanders were called, were merely lured away by false promises and bribes of cheap trade goods. The men who recruited this coloured labour were known as blackbirders. They were a tough band of international adventurers, on the whole brutal, callous and completely unscrupulous in their methods of recruiting, concerned only with fulfilling a contract or supplying virtual slaves to whoever was prepared to buy them. This is the story of the blackbirders and of the blackbirding era, which began with Robert Towns's importation in the 1860s of the first of the Kanakas for his cotton plantation near Brisbane and ended with the repatriation of the last of the natives after the labour trade was discontinued by Act of Parliament in 1904"--Jacket.

This book offers a wide-ranging survey of Australian engagement with the Pacific Islands in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through over 100 hitherto largely unexplored accounts of travel, the author explores how representations of the Pacific Islands in letters, diaries, reminiscences, books, newspapers and magazines contributed to popular ideas of the Pacific Islands in Australia. It offers a range of valuable insights into continuities and changes in Australian regional perspectives, showing that ordinary Australians were more closely connected to the Pacific Islands than has previously been acknowledged. Addressing the theme of travel as a historical, literary and imaginative process, this cultural history probes issues of nation and empire, race and science, commerce and tourism by focusing on significant episodes and encounters in history. This is a foundational text for future studies of Australia’s relations with the Pacific, and histories of travel generally.
