Black Convicts: How Slavery Shaped Australia is a 2024 non-fiction book written by Santilla Chingaipe. The book follows the lives of Black people transported to Australia as convicts from 1788 through 1840. Chingaipe's research found approximately five hundred convicts of African descent. The work claims that Australia's past is more closely connected to the Atlantic slave trade than generally recognized.
