From the years leading up to the First World War to the aftermath
of the Second, Europe experienced an era of genocide. As well as
the Holocaust, this period also witnessed the Armenian genocide in
1915, mass killings in Bolshevik and Stalinist Russia, and a host
of further ethnic cleansings in Anatolia, the Balkans, and Eastern
Europe. Crisis of Genocide seeks to integrate these genocidal
events into a single, coherent history. Over two volumes, Mark
Levene demonstrates how the relationship between geography, nation,
and power came to play a key role in the emergence of genocide in a
collapsed or collapsing European imperial zone - the Rimlands - and
how the continuing geopolitical contest for control of these
Eastern European or near-European regions destabilised
relationships between diverse and multifaceted ethnic communities
who traditionally had lived side by side. An emergent pattern of
toxicity can also be seen in the struggles for regional dominance
as pursued by post-imperial states, nation-states, and would-be
states. Volume II: Annihilation covers the period from 1939 to
1953, particularly focussing on the Second World War, and its
aftermath, the Holocaust and its lasting impact, and the latter
part of the Stalinist regime. Levene demonstrates that while the
attempted Nazi mass murder of the entirety of European Jewry
represents the most thoroughgoing and extreme consequence of
efforts aimed at political and social reformulation of the
Rimlands' arena in particular, the accumulation and concentration
of genocidal violence against many 'minority' groups would suggest
that anti-Semitism or racism alone is insufficient to provide a
comprehensive explanation for genocide.
