Genocide and Victimology examines genocide in its diverse features,
from different yet connected perspectives, to offer an
interdisciplinary, victimological imagination of genocide. It will
include in its exploration critical and cultural victimologies and
criminologies of genocide, accompanied by, and recognising, the
rich scholarship on genocide in the fields of religion and history,
theatre studies and photography, philosophy and existentialism,
post-colonialism, and ethnography and biography. Bringing together
theory with empirical research and drawing on a range of case
studies, such as the Treblinka extermination camp, the Bosnian and
Rwandan genocides, the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, Canada,
and genocidal violence in Syria and Iraq, this book engages the
victimological imagination towards an interdisciplinary,
cosmopolitan victimology of genocide. Bundled and intertwined, the
wide yet integrated variety of perspectives on genocide gives
readers a victimological kaleidoscope to discover, and for
victimology hitherto, unexplored theory and methodology. This way,
readers can develop their own more epistemologically,
theoretically, and methodologically robust victimology of
genocide-a victimology of genocide as envisioned by Nicole Rafter.
The book hopes to canvas an understanding and a starting point for
a diverse appreciation of genocide victimhood and survivorship from
which the real post-genocidal harms and sites, post-traumatic
stress disorder, courts and tribunals, and overall meaningful
justice will benefit. Written in a clear and direct style, this
book will appeal to students and scholars in criminology,
sociology, cultural studies, philosophy, history, religious
studies, English literature, and all those concerned with not
repeating a history of genocide.
