Bruce Pascoe




Bruce Pascoe is a Yuin, Bundjalung, and Tasmanian writer, and author of the Dark Emu book which re-examines the traditional Indigenous Australian narrative and the myth of terra nullius, or empty land, upon which British colonisation was founded.


His work has been the subject of much debate, with some critics arguing that he has overstated his case, and that Indigenous Australians were not as many as he claims, or as advanced.


Others, however, have praised his work for challenging the dominant narrative and for shining a light on the rich and complex history of Indigenous Australia.


Pascoe's work is significant because it forces us to rethink our understanding of Australian history. It challenges the idea that Indigenous Australians were passive victims of colonisation, and shows that they were active participants in shaping their own history.


Pascoe's work is also important because it helps us to understand the ongoing impact of colonisation on Indigenous Australians. He shows that the effects of colonisation are still felt today, and that Indigenous Australians continue to face significant challenges.


Pascoe's work is a valuable contribution to Australian literature and history. It is a challenging and often confronting read, but it is also an important one. Pascoe's work helps us to understand the true history of Australia, and it challenges us to rethink our understanding of Indigenous Australians.


Bruce Pascoe is a great man. His work is important and it is making a difference. He is a true champion of Indigenous Australians, and he is helping to build a better future for all Australians.
