Congratulations to Ann Curthoys, Shino Konishi, and Alexandra Ludewig on the publication of their new book The Lives and Legacies of a Carceral Island: A Biographical History of Wadjemup/Rottnest Island (Routledge, 2023). This book is a biographical history of Rottnest Island, a small carceral island offshore from Western Australia. This book will appeal to academic readers with an interest in Australian history, Aboriginal history, and the history of the British Empire, especially those interested in the burgeoning scholarship on the concept of “carceral archipelagos” and island prisons.
