Download or read book Blood and Soil written by Ben Kiernan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book of surpassing importance that should be required reading for leaders and policymakers throughout the world For thirty years Ben Kiernan has been deeply involved in the study of genocide and crimes against humanity. He has played a key role in unearthing confidential documentation of the atrocities committed by the Khmer Rouge. His writings have transformed our understanding not only of twentieth-century Cambodia but also of the historical phenomenon of genocide. This new book—the first global history of genocide and extermination from ancient times—is among his most important achievements. Kiernan examines outbreaks of mass violence from the classical era to the present, focusing on worldwide colonial exterminations and twentieth-century case studies including the Armenian genocide, the Nazi Holocaust, Stalin’s mass murders, and the Cambodian and Rwandan genocides. He identifies connections, patterns, and features that in nearly every case gave early warning of the catastrophe to come: racism or religious prejudice, territorial expansionism, and cults of antiquity and agrarianism. The ideologies that have motivated perpetrators of mass killings in the past persist in our new century, says Kiernan. He urges that we heed the rich historical evidence with its telltale signs for predicting and preventing future genocides.
Book Synopsis Stalin's Genocides by : Norman M. Naimark
Download or read book Stalin's Genocides written by Norman M. Naimark and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chilling story of Stalin’s crimes against humanity Between the early 1930s and his death in 1953, Joseph Stalin had more than a million of his own citizens executed. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, bloody massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin's henchmen. Stalin's Genocides is the chilling story of these crimes. The book puts forward the important argument that brutal mass killings under Stalin in the 1930s were indeed acts of genocide and that the Soviet dictator himself was behind them. Norman Naimark, one of our most respected authorities on the Soviet era, challenges the widely held notion that Stalin's crimes do not constitute genocide, which the United Nations defines as the premeditated killing of a group of people because of their race, religion, or inherent national qualities. In this gripping book, Naimark explains how Stalin became a pitiless mass killer. He looks at the most consequential and harrowing episodes of Stalin's systematic destruction of his own populace—the liquidation and repression of the so-called kulaks, the Ukrainian famine, the purge of nationalities, and the Great Terror—and examines them in light of other genocides in history. In addition, Naimark compares Stalin's crimes with those of the most notorious genocidal killer of them all, Adolf Hitler.
Book Synopsis Genocidal Legacy by : Jean Ovide Bourdeau
Download or read book Genocidal Legacy written by Jean Ovide Bourdeau and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We continue the work begun in a seminal essay titled "Ethics of One" by extending further our previous observations, but this time with numerous examples and situations in support of the general hypothesis raised in the first essay. In fact what author Jean Ovide Bourdeau proposes is that the 'Brave New World' has already begun; that its terminal objective is visible to those of us willing to open our eyes; and that it is on target. He continues to confront the obvious intellectual syndrome of terror resulting from our mean-spirited attitude toward 'being wrong and being wronged' in what this author calls our 'Ethical Disease of Self-righteousness'. A notion witnessed in callous and cowardly acts carried out by means of a social sacrament of 'Absolute Obedience' to political programs meant to control those who dare disagree either with our 'Immaculate Perception' or that of the 'Special One' and 'Special Group' managing a society.
Book Synopsis Empire, Colony, Genocide by : A. Dirk Moses
Download or read book Empire, Colony, Genocide written by A. Dirk Moses and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2008-06-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944, Raphael Lemkin coined the term “genocide” to describe a foreign occupation that destroyed or permanently crippled a subject population. In this tradition, Empire, Colony, Genocide embeds genocide in the epochal geopolitical transformations of the past 500 years: the European colonization of the globe, the rise and fall of the continental land empires, violent decolonization, and the formation of nation states. It thereby challenges the customary focus on twentieth-century mass crimes and shows that genocide and “ethnic cleansing” have been intrinsic to imperial expansion. The complexity of the colonial encounter is reflected in the contrast between the insurgent identities and genocidal strategies that subaltern peoples sometimes developed to expel the occupiers, and those local elites and creole groups that the occupiers sought to co-opt. Presenting case studies on the Americas, Australia, Africa, Asia, the Ottoman Empire, Imperial Russia, and the Nazi “Third Reich,” leading authorities examine the colonial dimension of the genocide concept as well as the imperial systems and discourses that enabled conquest. Empire, Colony, Genocide is a world history of genocide that highlights what Lemkin called “the role of the human group and its tribulations.”

Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies by : Donald Bloxham
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies written by Donald Bloxham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genocide has scarred human societies since Antiquity. In the modern era, genocide has been a global phenomenon: from massacres in colonial America, Africa, and Australia to the Holocaust of European Jewry and mass death in Maoist China. In recent years, the discipline of 'genocide studies' has developed to offer analysis and comprehension. The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies is the first book to subject both genocide and the young discipline it has spawned to systematic, in-depth investigation. Thirty-four renowned experts study genocide through the ages by taking regional, thematic, and disciplinary-specific approaches. Chapters examine secessionist and political genocides in modern Asia. Others treat the violent dynamics of European colonialism in Africa, the complex ethnic geography of the Great Lakes region, and the structural instability of the continent's northern horn. South and North America receive detailed coverage, as do the Ottoman Empire, Nazi-occupied Europe, and post-communist Eastern Europe. Sustained attention is paid to themes like gender, memory, the state, culture, ethnic cleansing, military intervention, the United Nations, and prosecutions. The work is multi-disciplinary, featuring the work of historians, anthropologists, lawyers, political scientists, sociologists, and philosophers. Uniquely combining empirical reconstruction and conceptual analysis, this Handbook presents and analyses regions of genocide and the entire field of 'genocide studies' in one substantial volume.
Book Synopsis Genocidal Legacy by : Jean Ovide Bourdeau
Download or read book Genocidal Legacy written by Jean Ovide Bourdeau and published by Politics of Despair. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay-like the others before-was written as an act of compas¬sion, consideration and 'tough love' for our present state of af¬fairs and for the future of humankind. It is, therefore, not an at¬tack on anyone, although it may ap¬pear or is in fact damaging to some readers' culture including my own. I ask you to simply consider my efforts as a wakeup call to others about the vision before me, since I will not be alive when this will take place. Having admitted that, let us at least agree that: Truth is often difficult and painful if not impossible to bear, when there is no other alternative but to think out¬side the logical framework of references, meanings, values, and standards from which we have been brought up. In fact: What we now severely need everywhere on our plan¬et is an open mind to resolve our most threatening human issues to get out from under those cultural biases indoctrinated into us all. And there is our major conundrum. This essay continues to beg of us to wake up in the face of the massive tragedy that has been unfolding most likely since before the beginning of our recorded history. A process that has by now begun to ac¬celerate to its logical conclusion. Although most us find ourselves emotionally numb through in¬doctrination, and thus hardly affected by common sense, this essay is nevertheless intended to bring us out of our hyp¬notic trance. The tool used here is to most seriously prod everyone's attention to the obvious catastrophe now unfold¬ing and staggeringly visible for anyone willing to see it. Our tactical purpose is to further support the general arguments of the first two essays, by providing this time many more examples, situations, and cases from history and contemporary events to show the direction our atti¬tude is leading us all to. Doing this as we literally bathe in a world of absurdities and madness, while denying it altogether, or stating that it not as bad as all that.

Book Synopsis GENOCIDAL LEGACY: Planetary Culture of Terror by : Jean Ovide Bourdeau
Download or read book GENOCIDAL LEGACY: Planetary Culture of Terror written by Jean Ovide Bourdeau and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Jean Ovide Bourdeau proposes that the 'Brave New World' has already begun; that its terminal objective is visible to those of us willing to open their eyes; and that it is on target. He further confronts the obvious intellectual syndrome of terror resulting from our mean-spirited attitude toward change generally. A fear, he tells us, transmogrifies itself into series of local genocides and wars that ultimately coalesce into planetary ones. A most evident situation demonstrated in what this author calls our 'Ethical Disease Of Self-righteousness'. A notion witnessed in callous and cowardly acts carried out by means of a 'social sacrament' of 'Absolute Obedience' to political programs meant to control those who dare disagree either with our 'Immaculate Perception' or that of the 'Special One' and 'Special Group' managing a society.
Book Synopsis The Nazi Genocide of the Roma by : Anton Weiss-Wendt
Download or read book The Nazi Genocide of the Roma written by Anton Weiss-Wendt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the framework of genocide, this volume analyzes the patterns of persecution of the Roma in Nazi-dominated Europe. Detailed case studies of France, Austria, Romania, Croatia, Ukraine, and Russia generate a critical mass of evidence that indicates criminal intent on the part of the Nazi regime to destroy the Roma as a distinct group. Other chapters examine the failure of the West German State to deliver justice, the Romani collective memory of the genocide, and the current political and historical debates. As this revealing volume shows, however inconsistent or geographically limited, over time, the mass murder acquired a systematic character and came to include ever larger segments of the Romani population regardless of the social status of individual members of the community.
Download or read book Genocide written by William D. Rubinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genocide is a topic beset by ambiguities over meaning and double standards. In this stimulating and gripping history, William Rubinstein sets out to clarify the meaning of the term genocide and its historical evolution, and provides a working definition that informs the rest of the book. He makes the important argument that each instance of genocide is best understood within a particular historical framework and provides an original chronology of these distinct frameworks. In the final part of the book he critically examines a number of alleged past and recent genocides: from native Americans, slavery, the Irish famine, homosexuals and gypsies in the Nazi concentration camps, Yugoslavia, Rwanda through to the claims of pro-lifers and anti-abortionists.
