EXTERMINATE ALL THE BRUTES

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"
