In September 2012, UNESCO held its first ever consultation with
member states on the subject of Holocaust and genocide education,
recognising the importance of teaching the history of genocide. The
aim was to find approaches to raise awareness about the recurrence
of mass atrocities and genocide in different environments. It is in
this context that Mohamed Adhikari has put together this title,
giving perspective to historical European overseas conquests which
included many instances of the extermination of indigenous peoples.
In cases where invading commercial stock farmers clashed with
hunter-gatherers - in southern Africa, Australia and the Americas -
the conflict was particularly destructive, often resulting in a
degree of dispossession and slaughter that destroyed the ability of
these societies to reproduce themselves biologically or culturally.
The question of whether this form of colonial conflict was
inherently genocidal has not in any systematic way been addressed
by scholars until now. Through chapters written by leading
academics, this volume explores the nature of conflict between
hunter-gatherers and market-oriented stock farmers in
geographically and historically diverse instances, using a wide
range of theoretical approaches and comparative studies, which also
consider exceptions to the pattern of extermination.
