In March we will discuss the multi award-winning book Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe, in which Pascoe puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. Pascoe examines the journals and diaries of early explorers and settlers in Australia, finding evidence in their accounts of existing agriculture, engineering and building, including stone houses, weirs, sluices and fish traps, and also game management. This evidence challenges the traditional views about pre-colonial Australia and “Terra Nullius.”

The Evening BUC Book Club is currently at capacity. However, let us know you are interested in an evening group. We may be able to connect you with others with a view to forming your own group, if there is sufficient interest and someone willing to lead.
