Understanding Atrocities is a wide-ranging collection of essays
bridging scholarly and community-based efforts to understand and
respond to the global, transhistorical problem of genocide. The
essays in this volume investigate how evolving, contemporary views
on mass atrocity frame and complicate the possibilities for the
understanding and prevention of genocide. The contributors ask,
among other things, what are the limits of the law, of history, of
literature, and of education in understanding and representing
genocidal violence? What are the challenges we face in teaching and
learning about extreme events such as these, and how does the
language we use contribute to or impair what can be taught and
learned about genocide? Who gets to decide if it's genocide and who
its victims are? And how does the demonization of perpetrators of
atrocity prevent us from confronting the complicity of others, or
of ourselves? Through a multi-focused and multidisciplinary
investigation of these questions, Understanding Atrocities
demonstrates the vibrancy and breadth of the contemporary state of
genocide studies. With contributions by: Amarnath Amarasingam,
Andrew R. Basso, Kristin Burnett, Lori Chambers, Laura Beth Cohen,
Travis Hay, Steven Leonard Jacobs, Lorraine Markotic, Sarah
Minslow, Donia Mounsef, Adam Muller, Scott W. Murray, Christopher
Powell, and Raffi Sarkissian
