“Exterminate All the Brutes”

It is an exploratory study of the dark history of Europe and the origin of genocide in Africa. Using Joseph Conrad's Dark Heart as his starting point, Swenlinger Quest brought us through colonial history and intertwined with contemporary travel. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, the writer revealed the roots of African genocide by reviewing the walks of African explorers, missionaries, politicians, and historians and traveling in the Sahara desert. As Lindqvist suggests, fantasies are not only superiority of white people but also actual extinctions - "purification" of the so-called small ethnic earth - European colonialism and a race that eventually led to massacre of Europe A deep understanding of discrimination

Selected by a new internationalist as one of the best books of 1998, it is called 'enthusiasm-based criticism for social justice, beautiful written integration of cultural history and travel writing'.
