Summary: If you read one book this year...
Comment: Actually, I've ready more than one book this year...many more, but this was my favorite. Written as a reflective narrative, not unlike Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, the author puts forth a story of a man traveling across the Sahara by bus and traveling through the history of Europeans in Africa. The title comes from the last line in Joseph Conrad's novel, "Heart of Darkness." Linqvist is a master storyteller, and the story he tells helps one understand where much about the origins of racism. This book is timely in that in the US, race relations are going backwards. Lindavist shows how many of the "scientific" assumptions that people hold about Africans are based more on political ideologies carried over from the 1800s rather than real science.

I don't think that many people will read this book because of its subject matter. It's a topic that many people want to avoid or deny. Regardless of this, Sven Lindqvist should be praised and recognized for this fascinating and enlightening book.
