<div><font size="4" face="Calibri" color="#993300"><b>About the Lecture: </b>In the year that Faith Bandler, a giant of indigenous political struggle in Australia, passed away, this paper reflects on the legacy of Australia's nineteenth century labour trade
in the Pacific. Through a survey of the collective political struggles of Queensland's South Sea Islander community, the paper explores the role that solidarity has played in the articulation of a Black politics in Australia--one that was inclusive rather
than exclusive, and defined by familial, and emplaced networks of connection. In moments of resistant politics on the fringes of sugar towns in the nineteenth century, to protests against deportation in 1906, and the Black Power inspired struggles for recognition
in the 1970s, South Sea Islanders, Murris and Islanders in the Pacific have together produced powerful forces for change. Although often consisting of connective and contingent moments of articulation, rather than coherent 'hard' political networks it will
be argued that this is a historical narrative yet to receive the acknowledgement it deserves. For if measured from the criteria implied by Hau'ofa's eloquent plea to overcome the smallness and disconnection of the colonial era, these political moments were
significant formations of internal decolonisation.</font></div>
