Young Dark Emu A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe

Using the accounts of early European explorers, colonists and farmers,

Bruce Pascoe compellingly argues for a reconsideration of the

hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. He allows

the reader to see Australia as it was before Europeans arrived — a land

of cultivated farming areas, productive fisheries, permanent homes, and

an understanding of the environment and its natural resources that

supported thriving villages across the continent. Young Dark Emu — A

Truer History asks young readers to consider a different version of

Australia’s history pre-European colonisation.
