<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm doing some research on Africans /
African-Americans / British-Africans and so on living in Australia from
First Fleet to the mid-twentieth century. I'm particularly interested in the
early to mid nineteenth century, although any information would be useful.
I'm trying to find out how and why they came to Australia, what types of work
they did, their cultural, political and racial experiences of being
African-Australians, as well as any interactions they would have had with
indigenous Australians. If anyone knows of any publications, or documents that
might be useful to me - including oral histories such as gossip and family
narratives, I would be most grateful.</FONT></DIV>

great conference.</FONT></DIV>
