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."
