The highly anticipated junior version of Bruce Pascoe's multi award-winning book, Dark Emu.
Bruce Pascoe has collected a swathe of literary awards for Dark Emu and now he has brought together the research and compelling first person accounts in a book for younger listeners.
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 listeners 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.
'… this book should be required reading for all – it is a gift of knowledge we should all be grateful for.'
Australian Geographic Explorers
'This elegant, accessible and beguilingly informative book should be required reading.'
Katharine England, Adelaide Advertiser
'Stunningly presented in striking shades of ochre, orange, black and white, this seminal book invites young readers to contemplate a different picture of Aboriginal culture and the concept of terra nullius.'
Dr Stephanie Owen Reeder, The Canberra Times
