Persecution and Genocide : A History
This volume offers an unparalleled range of comparative studies considering both persecution and genocide across two thousand years of history from Rome to Nazi Germany, and spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Topics covered include the persecution of religious minorities in the ancient world and late antiquity, the medieval roots of modern antisemitism, the early modern witch-hunts, the emergence of racial ideologies and their relationship to slavery, colonialism, Russian and Soviet mass deportations, the Armenian genocide, and the Holocaust.It also introduces students to significant, but less well known, episodes, such as the Albigensian Crusade and the massacres and forced expulsions suffered by the Circassians at the hands of imperial Russia in the 1860s, as the world entered an 'age of genocide'. By exploring the ideological motivations of the perpetrators, the book invites students to engage with the moral complexities of the past and to reflect upon our own situation today as the 'legatees of two thousand years of persecution'.Gervase Phillips's book is the ideal introduction to the subject for anyone interested in the long and complex history of human persecution.

The Rwanda Crisis : History of a Genocide

Genocide in Libya : Shar, a Hidden Colonial History
Winner of the L. Carl Brown AIMS Book Prize in North African Studies 2022This original research on the forgotten Libyan genocide specifically recovers the hidden history of the fascist Italian concentration camps (1929–1934) through the oral testimonies of Libyan survivors.This book links the Libyan genocide through cross-cultural and comparative readings to the colonial roots of the Holocaust and genocide studies. Between 1929 and 1934, thousands of Libyans lost their lives, directly murdered and victim to Italian deportations and internments.They were forcibly removed from their homes, marched across vast tracks of deserts and mountains, and confined behind barbed wire in 16 concentration camps.It is a story that Libyans have recorded in their Arabic oral history and narratives while remaining hidden and unexplored in a systematic fashion, and never in the manner that has allowed us to comprehend and begin to understand the extent of their existence. Based on the survivors’ testimonies, which took over ten years of fieldwork and research to document, this new and original history of the genocide is a key resource for readers interested in genocide and Holocaust studies, colonial and postcolonial studies, and African and Middle Eastern studies.

Was the Armenian Genocide the first genocide-Holocaust in world history?
The Armenian Genocide is often considered one of the first genocides of the 20th century, but it was not the first genocide in world history. Genocides have occurred throughout history, such as the Native American genocide in the Americas and the Herero and Nama genocide in Namibia. The Holocaust, which occurred during World War II, is another well-known genocide that took place after the Armenian Genocide. Each of these events has its own unique historical context and significance.

What is genocide?
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. It involves the intent to destroy a specific group of people based on their identity, and can include actions such as mass killings, torture, forced displacement, and other forms of violence. Genocide is considered a crime under international law and is one of the most serious human rights violations. It is often associated with atrocities such as the Holocaust, the Rwandan genocide, and the genocide of indigenous peoples in the Americas.

Was the Holocaust the worst genocide in human history?
The Holocaust was one of the worst genocides in human history, but it is not the only one. Other genocides, such as the Armenian Genocide, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Cambodian Genocide, have also resulted in mass atrocities and loss of life. Each of these genocides has its own unique and devastating impact on the affected communities, and it is difficult to compare them in terms of which was the "worst." All genocides are tragic and serve as a reminder of the importance of preventing such atrocities in the future.

What is a genocide?
A genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. It involves the intentional destruction of a specific group of people based on their ethnicity, religion, or other defining characteristics. Genocide is considered one of the most severe crimes against humanity and is often carried out with the intent to completely eliminate the targeted group. The term was first coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944 and has since been used to describe some of the most horrific atrocities in human history.

Genocide and Victimology
Genocide and Victimology examines genocide in its diverse features, from different yet connected perspectives, to offer an interdisciplinary, victimological imagination of genocide.It will include in its exploration critical and cultural victimologies and criminologies of genocide, accompanied by, and recognising, the rich scholarship on genocide in the fields of religion and history, theatre studies and photography, philosophy and existentialism, post-colonialism, and ethnography and biography.Bringing together theory with empirical research and drawing on a range of case studies, such as the Treblinka extermination camp, the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides, the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, Canada, and genocidal violence in Syria and Iraq, this book engages the victimological imagination towards an interdisciplinary, cosmopolitan victimology of genocide.Bundled and intertwined, the wide yet integrated variety of perspectives on genocide gives readers a victimological kaleidoscope to discover, and for victimology hitherto, unexplored theory and methodology.This way, readers can develop their own more epistemologically, theoretically, and methodologically robust victimology of genocide—a victimology of genocide as envisioned by Nicole Rafter.The book hopes to canvas an understanding and a starting point for a diverse appreciation of genocide victimhood and survivorship from which the real post-genocidal harms and sites, post-traumatic stress disorder, courts and tribunals, and overall meaningful justice will benefit. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, history, religious studies, English literature, and all those concerned with not repeating a history of genocide.

A Cultural History of Genocide in the Ancient World
The preamble to the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide recognizes “that at all periods of history genocide has inflicted great losses on humanity”.Studies of the phenomenon of genocide have, however, tended to concentrate on the modern world.The original contributions in this volume turn the focus to the question of genocide and mass violence in the ancient world, with a particular emphasis on the worlds of Greece, Rome and the Near East.This volume presents a range of views on the challenges of applying the modern concept of “genocide” to an ancient context.It also considers the causes, motivations, and justifications of ancient mass violence, as well as contemporary responses to, and critiques of, such violence, along with how mass violence was represented and remembered in ancient literature and iconography.In addition, chapters analyse what drove the perpetrators of mass violence, and the processes of victimization, as well as the consequences of mass violence and ravaging warfare, including in particular mass enslavement and sexual violence.

What happens if the Bundestag in Germany classifies a genocide as a genocide?
If the Bundestag in Germany classifies a genocide as a genocide, it would carry significant political and legal implications. The classification would likely lead to increased international pressure on the country responsible for the genocide, potentially resulting in sanctions and other diplomatic measures. It could also lead to a reevaluation of Germany's foreign policy and potentially impact its relations with the country in question. Additionally, the classification could also lead to increased awareness and recognition of the genocide, potentially leading to efforts to seek justice and reparations for the victims.

Did Turkey commit genocide, or was it really a genocide against the Armenians?
The events that took place during the early 20th century, often referred to as the Armenian Genocide, are a highly contentious and sensitive topic. The term "genocide" is used by many historians and scholars to describe the systematic and deliberate killings, deportations, and forced assimilation of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, which is now modern-day Turkey. However, the Turkish government denies that the events constitute genocide, arguing that the deaths were a result of the broader context of World War I and not a deliberate effort to exterminate the Armenian population. The issue remains a point of contention and diplomatic tension between Turkey and many other countries, including Armenia.

What is the Herero genocide?
The Herero genocide, also known as the Herero and Namaqua genocide, was a campaign of racial extermination and collective punishment carried out by the German Empire against the Herero and Nama peoples in German South West Africa (now Namibia) from 1904 to 1908. It is considered one of the first genocides of the 20th century. The genocide was characterized by mass killings, forced labor, concentration camps, and the confiscation of land and livestock. An estimated 65,000 Herero, or about 80% of the population, and 10,000 Nama, or about 50% of the population, were killed during the genocide.
-
Was the flood a genocide?
No, the flood was not a genocide. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group, and the flood was a natural disaster caused by heavy rainfall or other environmental factors. Genocide involves intentional human actions to eliminate a specific group of people, while a flood is a result of natural forces beyond human control. Therefore, it is not accurate to classify the flood as a genocide.
