In a world gripped by an ever-worsening ecological crisis there are
present and increasing genocidal pressures on many culturally
distinct social groups, such as indigenous peoples. This is where
the genocide-ecocide nexus presents itself. The destruction of
ecosystems, ecocide, can be a method of genocide if, for example,
environmental destruction results in conditions of life that
fundamentally threaten a social group's cultural and/or physical
existence. Given the looming threat of runaway climate change, the
attendant rapid extinction of species, destruction of habitats,
ecological collapse and the self-evident dependency of the human
race on our bio-sphere, ecocide (both "natural" and "manmade") will
become a primary driver of genocide. Through nine chapters of
cutting-edge research, this book examines specific case studies in
geographical settings such as Iraq, Sudan, Nigeria and Brazil, to
highlight and analyse the crucial connections and vectors of the
genocide-ecocide nexus. This book will be of great value to
scholars, students and researchers interested in the ecological
crisis, Environmental Justice, the political economy of genocide
and ecocide as well as environmental human rights. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of The
Journal of Genocide Research.
