Portada de Exterminad a todos los salvajesTitle: "Exterminate all the savages"
Author: Sven Lindqvist
Editorial: Turner
Sentence: "According: You need to travel! But, Why just over here?”
Critical Vap: A bus ride across the Sahara leads the reader to one of the most lucid essays on the vocation of extermination of colonialism in Africa in the nineteenth century. The Swedish writer pursues a phrase, that of the alienated Kurtz de Conrad in "the heart of darkness": "Exterminate all the savages", and lift the carpet in the proselytizing of the great powers to aerate the violence that transforms man and racism and death that lie behind its alleged civilizing zeal.
Lindqvist and brilliance meticulously carving a retablo of the hypocrisy of the white man in the century of the great explorations, that according to the author germinated in the conviction that imperialism "was a necessary biological process" that according to the laws of nature "inevitably carried the annihilation of the lower races", ideological substratum of which was nurtured the Nazi Holocaust in the twentieth century. Essential reading to illuminate the back of the collective memory.
