In 1843, the New Zealand Company settlement of Nelson was rocked by the revolt of its emigrant labourers. By putting violence and class conflict at the centre, this fascinating microhistory upends the familiar image of colonial New Zealand.

'The History of a Riot' (from the BWB Texts series) is introduced in this book trailer by author Jared Davidson.
