Loudmouth, I took a different approach/angle, in search of the same outcomes.
And that was; If he is what he claims to be, and with so much negative press and so many people calling him a fraud and a con-man, (I'm not sure exactly how many) that he would have had law suites against his detractors, flying out the door by now.
So then, if he is not challenging these accusations and allegations of fraud and mis-representation, is he afraid that the truth will be discovered and him exposed and therefore confirming the accusations once and for all, and amongst other things, making him a 'persona non-grata'?

Paul,

Here's someone else who thinks that Pascoe is an historian.

"Turning history on its head
Academic conflict accidentally turned Bruce Pascoe into our most influential indigenous historian.

ByRICHARD GUILLIATT, the WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN magazine, 28th December 2019.

and what is more the newspaper is spreading the message.

Here's another history claim.

Title: ‘Young Dark Emu: A Truer History’
Author: Bruce Pascoe
Publisher: Magabala Books
Age Range: middle primary +, but actually this book is ageless.
Themes: Indigenous, Australian history, farming, agriculture, land management, pastoral industry."

See those mentions of history?

As you and Steele so rightly point out, Pascoe is not an historian, but he works at the imager or at the very least does not appear to correct those who erroneously so describe him.

Is this journalist serious or is this some kind of publicity stunt by this guys backers?
His rise to fame and fortune appear to have happened overnight, as is usually the custom and purview of marketing and lobbying.
Which leads me back to the question; Who is REALLY and actively behind this guy, and why?
The jury is still out about him and his claims of being of black descent, not to mention the veracity and accuracy of his book.

ALTRAV,

I wouldn't pick an argument with Loudmouth if I was you. He has a big box full of degrees in everything and he might pull one out and hit you over the head with it.

Mr O, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else.
Firstly I don't pick fights, they are a waste of time, I state my case and let the chips fall where they may.
If someone wants to 'pick a fight', they're more than welcome, but I would suggest it will be for nowt.
Another reason I would not be too quick to judge or disagree with Loudmouth, especially on this topic, is because he has the runs on the board, having not only been married to a lady who I believe was an indigenous person herself, (please correct me if I'm wrong) but also the extensive work/research he has done on the very topic being argued over, which I might remind one and all is not the basis of this thread or discussion.
This discussion is about whether this 'wannabee' is the real deal or not.
So let's all shtick to topic, and not try to shtick it to each other.
