Description

Black Randall is a novel that tells the story of John Randall, an African American man who was transported to Australia in 1787 as part of the First Fleet. Born into slavery, John risks everything for freedom and embarks on a journey that takes him from the slums of Manchester to the convict settlement at Botany Bay. After two years of hardship and struggle, John is granted land and freedom, but his life is marked by loss and tragedy. The novel explores the costs of his survival and resilience in a white man's world, and how he contributes to the birth of Australia as a nation. This book offers a powerful exploration of one man's journey towards freedom and redemption, and sheds light on aspects of Australian history that have been largely ignored or forgotten.
