Bruce Pascoe's iconic non-fiction classic Dark Emu significantly shifted the way Australians relate to their environment.�Young Dark Emu brought together the research and compelling first person accounts of his work into a book for younger readers. Using the accounts of early European explorers, colonists and farmers, 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. Young Dark Emu was highly awarded upon its original release in 2019. This updated edition brings a fresh look and format to the original content.
