Mohamed Adhikari, "Destroying to Replace: Settler Genocides of Indigenous Peoples" (Hackett, 2022)
Today I\xa0talked to\xa0Dr. Mohamed Adhikari about his book\xa0Destroying to Replace: Settler Genocides of Indigenous Peoples\xa0(Hackett, 2022).\n"This book explores settler colonial genocides in a global perspective and over the long dur\xe9e. It does so systematically and compellingly, as it investigates how settler colonial expansion at times created conditions for genocidal violence, and the ways in which genocide was at times perpetrated on settler colonial frontiers. This volume will prove invaluable to teachers and students of imperialism, colonialism, and human rights." \u2014 Lorenzo Veracini, Swinburne University of Technology, and author of\xa0The World Turned Inside Out: Settler Colonialism as a Political Idea\n"A succinct, insightful, and highly readable text discussing an issue that deserves to be integral to any world history course. Using four finely crafted, yet widely dispersed, case studies Adhikari strikingly shows how vulnerability and resistance occur as the waves of global capitalism hit indigenous societies." \u2014 Robert Gordon, University of Vermont\n\u201cIlluminating and compelling. This is a volume about genocide, a recurrent phenomenon in world history that, disturbingly, has created our modernity. Mohamed Adhikari equips the reader with a sound conceptual introduction, then provides four detailed yet clear accounts of genocide in the Canary Islands, Queensland, California, and German Southwest Africa. He has expertly provided the big picture as well as the specifics true to each history. Primary sources from each episode invite the reader\u2019s participation in analysis. A book with which to think and to teach others.\u201d \u2014 Lora Wildenthal, Rice University\nThis interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
