Sinossi

Convict Transports explores Britain's transportation of convicts to Australia between 1788 and 1868, revealing a crucial and often brutal chapter in both British and Australian history. This forced migration shaped the social, economic, and political landscape of the burgeoning colony, challenging conventional narratives of colonization. The book uncovers intriguing facts, such as how ex-convicts contributed significantly to Australia's development in sectors ranging from agriculture to politics and explores the harsh realities of penal colonies like Port Arthur and Norfolk Island, where daily life was defined by punishment and strict social hierarchies.

 
The book approaches this complex history by drawing upon a wide range of primary sources, including government records, convict narratives, and archaeological findings, providing a balanced view that acknowledges both the suffering and the resilience of those subjected to the convict system. It begins by detailing the origins and logistics of convict transportation, then delves into the conditions within the penal colonies, and culminates by examining the social mobility of ex-convicts and their lasting impact on Australian society. This journey through history offers readers insights into the penal system, social mobility, and the development of Australia.

    Who’s the Devil: the Other or...

    “We’ve spent nine trillion dollars bombing the Middle East like mad. We’ve sown death there, including our own. And what has it gotten us? Nothing.” 
    Donald Trump, November 1, 2024. 
    
    The figure of the devil has haunted our collective consciousness since the dawn of time. He structures our societies, whether religious or secular. Sometimes, the devil has been a friend before being “demonized”. Sometimes, by force of circumstance, he has become an ally. And sometimes, the devil must be eliminated to mask or even justify the errors of our societies. 
    Thus, during the Second World War, we made a pact with Stalin to bring down a devil deemed more formidable: Hitler. In Northern Ireland, the British ended up talking with representatives of the IRA, just as the French did a few years earlier with the Algerian FLN. Recently, the Americans negotiated with the Taliban, another terrorist group, before handing over the keys to Afghanistan. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi and Bashar al-Assad were friends of the West before the latter precipitated their downfall, even if it meant causing chaos in their countries.
    Régis Le Sommier has been a war reporter for 27 years, and has himself interviewed a number of infamous figures. His aim is to revisit the concept of the devil in the light of recent and current conflicts, in order to answer one question: shouldn’t the deleterious consequences of geopolitics conducted “in the name of good” lead us to doubt the validity of the actions taken by our governments, even today, against those they like to refer to as devils?
