Forced Migrations: Africans, Australians, Indigenous Americans
How to watch
Summary
Not all migrations have been voluntary. In this powerful lecture we first examine the horrific trade in Africans transported into slavery in the New World. We also look at the beginning of the European colonisation of Australia by the transportation of convicts from Britain, and finally at the placing of Native Americans into reservations.
