- Black Founders The unknown story of Australia's first black settlers - book by Cassandra Pybus (UNSW 2006) ISBN 9780868408491
"Distinguished historian and writer Cassandra Pybus reveals that black convicts were among our first fleet settlers – a fact which profoundly complicates our understanding of race relations in early colonial Australia. Most of these black founders were originally slaves from America who had sought freedom with the British during the American Revolution only to find themselves abandoned and unemployed in England when the war was over."
