Australian Genesis: Jewish Convicts and Settlers 1788-1850 chronicles the remarkable and largely overlooked contribution of Jewish men and women to the founding of colonial Australia. Drawing on extensive archival research, the work presents detailed biographical accounts of the Jewish convicts transported to New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, as well as the free settlers who followed in their wake. With scholarly authority and genuine human interest, it illustrates how this small but resilient community shaped early Australian commerce, civic life, and culture against a backdrop of hardship and social prejudice. A landmark work in Australian-Jewish historiography, it remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the multicultural roots of the Australian nation.
