apžvelgė autoriaus Sven Lindqvist knygą "Exterminate all the brutes"

Sven Lindqvist: "Exterminate all the brutes" (2007, The New Press)

A must-read that should be taught in schools

The writing is so clear and precise, it slices through decades of obfuscation and excuses about colonialism and genocide.

"And when what had been done in the heart of darkness was repeated in the heart of Europe, no one recognized it. No one wished to admit what everyone knew. [...] You already know that. So do I. It is not knowledge we lack. What is missing is the courage to understand what we know."

Clear and precise

This is a must-read and should be taught in schools. Some sentences in this book are haunting -- so clear and precise, they slice through the decades of excuses for colonialism.
