The Routledge Handbook of Religion, Mass Atrocity, and Genocide
explores the many and sometimes complicated ways in which religion,
faith, doctrine, and practice intersect in societies where mass
atrocity and genocide occur. This volume is intended as an entry
point to questions about mass atrocity and genocide that are asked
by and of people of faith and is an outstanding reference source to
the key topics, historical events, and heated debates in this
subject area. The 39 contributions to the handbook, by a team of
international contributors, span five continents and cover four
millennia. Each explores the intersection of religion, faith, and
mainly state-sponsored mass atrocity and genocide, and draws from a
variety of disciplines. This volume is divided into six core
sections: Genocide in Antiquity and Holy Wars The Genocide of
Indigenous Peoples Religion and the State The Role of Religion
during Genocide Post Genocide Considerations Memory Culture Within
these sections central issues, historical events, debates, and
problems are examined, including the Crusades; Jihad and ISIS,
colonialism, the Holocaust, desecration of ritual objects, politics
of religion, Shinto nationalism, attacks on Rohingya Muslims; the
Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, responses to genocide;
gender-based atrocities, ritualcide in Cambodia, burial sites and
mass graves, transitional justice, forgiveness, documenting
genocide, survivor memory narratives, post-conflict healing and
memorialization. The Routledge Handbook of Religion and Genocide is
essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in
religion and genocide, religion and violence, and religion and
politics. It will be of great interest to students of theology,
philosophy, genocide studies, narrative studies, history, and
international relations and those in related fields, such as
cultural studies, area studies, sociology, and anthropology.
