Description:
Young Dark Emu: A Truer History brings Bruce Pascoe’s award-winning research from Dark Emu to a younger audience. Using the diaries and accounts of early European settlers, Pascoe challenges the long-held myth that pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians were only hunter-gatherers. He presents compelling evidence of sophisticated land management, agriculture, aquaculture, and permanent housing that supported thriving, complex societies across the continent.

Written in accessible language and beautifully presented with illustrations and maps, this edition invites young readers to explore a fuller, truer version of Australia’s ancient history.

Perfect For:
Students, educators, families, and anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of Aboriginal Australia. Suitable for readers aged 10 and up.
