Young Dark Emu

The highly-anticipated junior version of Bruce Pascoe’s multi award-winning book.

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 First Nations peoples in Australia. 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.
