Destruction and human remains investigates a crucial question
frequently neglected in academic debate in the fields of mass
violence and genocide studies: what is done to the bodies of the
victims after they are killed? In the context of mass violence,
death does not constitute the end of the executors' work. Their
victims' remains are often treated and manipulated in very specific
ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering, often
with remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented
phenomena, this volume includes chapters based on extensive primary
and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts
have been committed through recent history. Interdisciplinary in
scope, Destruction and human remains will appeal to readers
interested in the history and implications of genocide and mass
violence, including researchers in anthropology, sociology,
history, politics and modern warfare. -- .
