Terra Nullius by Sven Lindqvist
A Journey Through No One's Land
The book explores the brutal history of European colonialism in Australia, delving into the concept of "terra nullius," or "nobody's land," which was used to justify the dispossession and genocide of Indigenous peoples. Through a blend of historical analysis, personal reflection, and travel narrative, it uncovers the devastating impact of colonization on Aboriginal communities and challenges readers to confront the ongoing legacy of these injustices. The work serves as a powerful critique of colonial ideologies and a call for recognition and reconciliation.
