Why are some genocides prominently remembered while others are
ignored, hidden, or denied? Consider the Turkish campaign denying
the Armenian genocide, followed by the Armenian movement to
recognize the violence. Similar movements are building to
acknowledge other genocides that have long remained out of sight in
the media, such as those against the Circassians, Greeks,
Assyrians, the indigenous peoples in the Americas and Australia,
and the violence that was the precursor to and the aftermath of the
Holocaust. The contributors to this collection look at these cases
and others from a variety of perspectives. These essays cover the
extent to which our biases, our ways of knowing, our patterns of
definition, our assumptions about truth, and our processes of
remembering and forgetting as well as the characteristics of
generational transmission, the structures of power and state
ideology, and diaspora have played a role in hiding some events and
not others. Noteworthy among the collection's coverage is whether
the trade in African slaves was a form of genocide and a discussion
not only of Hutus brutalizing Tutsi victims in Rwanda, but of the
execution of moderate Hutus as well. Hidden Genocides is a
significant contribution in terms of both descriptive narratives
and interpretations to the emerging subfield of critical genocide
studies.
