为什么值得读
- 打破纯粹采猎原生态偏见展现实际农耕生活
- 涵盖原住民贸易、狩猎与多方面历史证据
- 引发读者重新反思胜者对历史的重写
在这部开创性的著作中，Bruce Pascoe 揭示了大量证据，表明在白人到来之前很久，遍布整片大陆的 Aboriginal 人就已经在建造水坝和水井；种植、灌溉和收获种子，并将多余的粮食储存在房屋、棚屋或牢固的容器中；他们还修建了精美的墓地并改造了地貌景观。所有这些行为都与 hunter-gatherer 这一标签不符，而事实证明，该标签不过是一个用以为剥夺土地行径辩护的便利谎言。——封底

……治理模式付诸实践，以及我们所了解的进步史并非全貌。它有助于让我们看到自己正处于一个局部极小值（local minimum），并且完全可以进化得更好。Bruce Pascoe 写的《Dark Emu》。书中梳理了早期与澳大利亚原住民接触的日记和历史证据。展示了随着时间的推移，他们的农业实践、城镇以及居住环境……
…governance models were put into practice, and how the history of progress that we are given is not the whole story. Useful for seeing that we are in a local minim, and can evolve into something better. Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe. Goes through the diaries and historical evidence of the early interactions with Australia's Aboriginals. Shows how over time their agricultural practices, towns and living environments…
……澳大利亚原住民绝非单纯的狩猎采集者、光着身子在“原始”环境里到处跑，而是整个大陆生物量的积极管理者。前面提到的 Gammage 的书以及 Bruce Pascoe 的《Dark Emu》都是极好的通俗读物，两者都大量借鉴并严谨引用了一手史料。读读这两本中的任何一本，或许都能消除不少偏见。
…Indigenous Australians were not purely hunter-gatherers, running naked around a 'pristine' environment, but were active managers of an entire continent's biomass. The aforementioned Gammage and Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu are the best popular accounts, both drawing on and carefully referencing primary sources. Reading either might dispel a few prejudices.
……如果你想进一步了解，可以读读两本相关的书：Bill Gammage 的《The Greatest Estate On Earth》，讲的是澳大利亚原住民的土地管理远比人们普遍认为的要广泛得多；Bruce Pascoe 的《Dark Emu》——这本大量引用了前者的内容，火药味更浓一些，但它探讨了澳大利亚原住民生活的更多方面，比如狩猎、贸易等。
…you want to know more, there are two related books you can read: The Greatest Estate On Earth, Bill Gammage, on how Australian indigenous land management was much more extensive than commonly thought Dark Emu, Bruce Pascoe - this one cites the above substantially and is much more polemic, but it looks at more aspects of Australian indigenous life, hunting, trade etc.
……在他们的地方（并确保在荒年丰年都能获取得到）。关于当代研究的通俗科普可以参阅 Bill Gammage 的《The Biggest Estate on Earth》和 Bruce Pascoe 的《Dark Emu》。不过这是一个变化极快的研究领域，还有很多有待发掘的内容。
…in their country (and to keep them available throughout good & bad seasons). Popular accounts of the contemporary research can be found in Bill Gammage's The Biggest Estate on Earth and Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu. It's a fast-changing research landscape, though, with much left to be discovered.
Bruce Pascoe 的《Dark Emu》。这本书真让我真切感受到，人们是怎样为了迎合自己的偏见而硬生生篡改历史的，也终于让我明白了“历史是由胜者书写的”到底是什么意思（包括自封为胜者在内）。
Bruce Pascoe, "Dark Emu" This book really highlighted for me how we literally rewrite history to suit our own prejudices, and finally taught me what "history is written by the victor" actually means (including claiming victory).
……任何系统中的意想不到的后果；Anne Lamott 的《Bird by Bird》，我的工作需要写大量文字，这是关于如何把作品搞定交付的最佳入门读物；给澳大利亚人推荐：Bruce Pascoe 的《Dark Emu》，讲的是早期白人欧洲定居者如何彻底误解了原住民农业、欧洲人定居澳洲时所失去的一切，以及我们今天能从中借鉴什么。会给你带来一个极其不一样的……
…unintended consequences in any system - Anne Lammott's Bird by Bird - I have to write a lot for my work and this is the best primer on getting things out the door - For the Australians: Bruce Pascoe's Dark Emu, on how early white European settlers completely misunderstood indigenous agriculture, all the things that were lost when Europeans settled Australia, and what we can use today. Gives you a VERY different…
