Dark Emu: Aboriginal Australia and the Birth of Agriculture, by Bruce Pascoe

informative slow-paced
I don't know how to rate this. This book explores how actual Australian Aboriginal people lived versus what is taught in Australia and around the world. It criticizes English colonists and their written representation of the Aboriginal people as it diminished their agricultural, fishing, governmental, and civil developments. An important read. Very educational, but also unfortunately dry if you don't enjoy reading about agriculture.
