Exterminate All the Brutes by Sven Lindqvist is a historical and philosophical investigation of the roots of European colonialism, racism, and genocide in Africa. It was originally published in Swedish under the title Utrota varenda jävel in 1992 and was published in English translation in 1996. The book takes its title from the infamous phrase used by the character Kurtz in Joseph Conrad's 1899 Heart of Darkness.
