Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for precolonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing – behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Gerritsen and Gammage in their latest books support this premise but Pascoe takes this further and challenges the hunter-gatherer tag as a convenient lie. Almost all the evidence comes from the records and diaries of the Australian explorers, impeccable sources.
Bruce Pascoe Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
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.
An in-depth introduction to Australia’s rich, indigenous culture, this pocket-sized guide is an invaluable resource for learning about the 60,000-year-old history of the country. Containing everything from history and rarely seen photographs to information on traveling respectfully, the content is written by indigenous people and follows their cultural protocols and ethics. Presented in a nonchronological approach, the guide is ultimately less a mere reference and more a story of identity and continuity.
