Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers? The Dark Emu Debate
An authoritative study of pre-colonial Australia that dismantles and reframes popular narratives of First Nations land management and food production
Australians' understanding of Aboriginal society prior to the British invasion from 1788 has been transformed since the publication of Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu in 2014. It argued that classical Aboriginal society was more sophisticated than Australians had been led to believe because it resembled more closely the farming communities of Europe.
