In the critically acclaimed Desert Divers and Exterminate All the
Brutes, Sven Lindqvist travelled through Africa's deserts and
unearthed the cruelty of colonialism. Now he has done the same for
Australia. Lindqvist travels through the south of the country,
lyrically describing its landscape, flora and fauna and geology,
while also telling the history of the country and revealing the
shocking treatment of its Aboriginal peoples. He catalogues some
truly shocking abuses, such as the rounding up of Aborigine women
for transportation to the chillingly named 'Isle of the Dead' for
inappropriate and often fatal syphilis treatment, and the extensive
forced separation of 'half-blood' children from their families to
squalid prison-like camps. Stretching from the formation of the
Australian continent 600 million years ago to the 2002 hunger
strikes in the Woomera detention camp, Terra Nullius leaves us with
a strong sense of Australia as a piece of earth, steeped in
geological and tragic human history.
