Bruce Pascoe

    Bruce Pascoe sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na hlboké skúmanie austrálskej histórie a kultúry, so zameraním na zabudnuté príbehy pôvodných obyvateľov. Jeho písanie odhaľuje zložité spoločnosti a poľnohospodárstvo, ktoré existovali v Austrálii po tisíce rokov, čím spochybňuje tradičné naratívy. Prostredníctvom svojho literárneho diela sa snaží obnoviť rešpekt a porozumenie pre pôvodné austrálske tradície a znalosti. Jeho práca slúži ako most medzi minulosťou a súčasnosťou a ponúka nový pohľad na austrálsku identitu.

      History has portrayed Australia's First Peoples, the Aboriginals, as hunter-gatherers who lived on an empty, uncultivated land. History is wrong. In this seminal book, Bruce Pascoe uncovers evidence that long before the arrival of white men, Aboriginal people across the continent were building dams and wells; planting, irrigating, and harvesting seeds, and then preserving the surplus and storing it in houses, sheds, or secure vessels; and creating elaborate cemeteries and manipulating the landscape. All of these behaviors were inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag, which turns out have been a convenient lie that worked to justify dispossession. Using compelling evidence from the records and diaries of early Australian explorers and colonists, he reveals that Aboriginal systems of food production and land management have been blatantly understated in modern retellings of early Aboriginal history, and that a new look at Australia's past is required -- for the benefit of all Australians. Dark Emu, a bestseller in Australia, won both the Book of the Year Award and the Indigenous Writer's Prize in the 2016 New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards.

Presented in a nonchronological approach, the guide is ultimately less a mere reference and more a story of identity and continuity.
