Edited by Geoffrey Gold, this volume vividly reconstructs the escalating tensions between gold miners and colonial authorities, culminating in a pivotal moment of civil disobedience that remains central to the Australian national consciousness. Through a collection of essays, the work details the miners' grievances, their impassioned fight for democratic rights, and the violent, short-lived confrontation that fundamentally altered the nation's political landscape.\n\nThis illustrated work serves as both a scholarly examination and a vivid tribute to the spirit of resistance that emerged from the Victorian goldfields. By framing the rebellion not merely as a localized riot but as a foundational act in the pursuit of democratic equality, the contributors provide an insightful look into the social and political forces of 1850s Australia. For the collector of Australiana or those interested in the democratic history of the nation, this edition offers a gripping and essential account of a defining chapter in Australia's past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826036289755,"sku":"2026770000726-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f4095890-26d1-4b6b-9ceb-f781e68dc224.png?v=1780311365","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000726-secondhand-eureka-rebellion-beneath-the-southern-cross","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
