Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Mark on top right front cover from price sticker removal. Small mark on front cover near lower spine, now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are excellent.

Dark Emu argues for reconsidering the 'hunter-gatherer' tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians and attempts to rebut the colonial myths that have worked to justify dispossession.

Accomplished author Bruce Pascoe provides compelling evidence from the diaries of early explorers that suggests that food production and land management systems have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history and that a new look at Australia's past is required.
