Items related to Exterminate All the Brutes
This is a study of Europe's dark history in Africa, written both in the form of a travel diary and as a historical examination of European imperialism and racism over the past two centuries. Sven Lindqvist draws on newspaper accounts, the writings of European explorers theologians, politicians and historians, from the late-18th century onwards, in his search to make sense of that most terrifying of Conrad's lines: "Exterminate all the brutes." Lindqvist argues that the harrowing racism that led to the Holocaust in the 20th century had its roots in European colonial policy of the preceding century.

Review:
Praise for Sven Lindqvist and "Exterminate All the Brutes":
"A book of stunning range and near genius. . . . The catastrophic consequences of European imperialism are made palpable in the personal progress of the author, a late-twentieth century pilgrim in Africa. Lindqvist’s astonishing connections across time and cultures, combined with a marvelous economy of prose, leave the reader appalled, reflective, and grateful."
—David Levering Lewis
"In spare but powerful prose . . . Lindqvist manages to weave together an impressive variety of themes [to] point to the continuity between prejudices and acts separated by continents and centuries."
—The Washington Post
"Lindqvist’s disturbing, brilliant work of historical sleuthing deserves to be taken up in a thousand classrooms."
—Rob Nixon, Voice Literary Supplement
