Jeffrey S. Bachman, "Cultural Genocide: Law, Politics, and Global Manifestations" (Routledge, 2019)
Jeffrey Bachman's edited volume\xa0Cultural Genocide: Law, Politics, and Global Manifestations\xa0(Routledge, 2019)\xa0asks where the boundaries between genocide and other kinds of mass atrocity violence rest and what the stakes are in locating them here rather than there.\nBachman, Senior Professorial Lecturer at the American University and a co-host of this podcast, has assembled a wide-ranging set of scholars to consider how and why the label 'cultural genocide' has been so contentious over the past decades.\xa0Bachman's own essay (co-written with Lauren Carasik) explains how and why the term was eliminated from early drafts of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.\xa0Other essays range from theoretical examinations to contemporary case studies to inquiries about redress and reconciliation.\xa0Many highlight little known conflicts or disputes.\xa0Collectively, they will challenge the reader to reconsider earlier understandings of genocide and its causes and consequences.\nKelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
