This innovative and ambitious work is a systematic examination of
the many instances of genocide that took place in the late
nineteenth and early twentieth-century centuries that were
precursors to the Holocaust. There is an appalling symmetry to the
many instances of genocide that the late nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century world witnessed. In the wake of the break-up of
the old Hapsburg, Ottoman and Romanov empires, minority populations
throughout those lands were persecuted, expelled and eliminated.
The reason for the deplorable decimations of communities - Jews in
Imperial Russia and Ukraine, Ottoman Assyrians, Armenians and
Muslims from the Caucasus and Balkans - was, Cathie Carmichael
contends, located in the very roots of the new nation states
arising from the imperial rubble. The question of who should be
included in the nation, and which groups were now to be deemed
'suspect' or 'alien', was one that preoccupied and divided Europe
long before the Holocaust.Examining all the major eliminations of
communities in Europe up until 1941, Carmichael shows how hotbeds
of nationalism, racism and developmentalism resulted in devastating
manifestations of genocidal ideology. Dramatic, perceptive and
poignant, this is the story of disappearing civilizations -
precursors to one of humanity's worst atrocities, and part of the
legacy of genocide in the modern world.
