The Lure of Barter: An Understanding of Papuan Peoples as Established Agents of Movement and Exchange

‘Hardwork’ was one of the slang terms used by nineteenth century South Sea Islanders to describe their work in the sugar-cane industry. The title also refers (with a little humour) to the effort involved in putting this bibliography together. I have collected these references since the mid-1970s, and in the 2000s migrated many of them from filing cards to an Endnote digital format. It is the largest bibliography ever created that revolves around Australian South Sea Islanders (ASSI), an Australian immigrant group descended from Pacific Islanders who entered New South Wales and Queensland between 1847 and 1904 as indentured labourers. After an academic lifetime using these sources, I feel obligated to make them more available. My own relevant publications are listed in the general section of the bibliography, and I also have access to an enormous range of sources relating to ASSI, most of which I hold as paper or digital copies. Listing these items will enable later researchers—hopefully including members of the ASSI community—to access a large range of sources without the ‘hardwork’ of collecting them again. The bibliography contains several subsections and a main general section.
