"The Historiography of Genocide" is an indispensable guide to the
development of the emerging discipline of genocide studies and the
only available assessment of the historical literature pertaining
to genocides.
This work is an indispensable guide to the development of the
emerging discipline of genocide studies and the only available
assessment of the historical literature pertaining to genocides.It
is the only historiographical assessment of genocide studies
available, written by experts in the field. It brings together
comparative analyses of the development of the discipline and
examinations of the historiography of particular cases (or
contested cases) of genocide. It includes thematic, comparative
essays (e.g., on religion, gender, law, modernity) side by side
with historiographical case studies.It deals not only with the few
unambiguous and widely recognized cases of genocide but also with
cases whose status is more contested (e.g., India, China,
Guatemala) through analyses of the historiography relating to those
cases. It is also an incomparable guide to a massive and complex
literature, in newly-commissioned and up-to-date essays.
Film and television have been accepted as having a pervasive
influence on how people understand the world. An important aspect
of this is the relationship of history and film. The different
views of the past created by film, television, and video are only
now attracting closer attention from historians, cultural critics,
and filmmakers. This volume seeks to advance the critical
exploration scholars have recently begun. Barta begins by
addressing the various ways the past is "screened" for our
understanding and relates the art of film to other media. The
essays that follow deal primarily with the changing perspectives of
political and social developments--and changing concepts of
ideology, gender, or culture--in films and television programs made
for historically shaped reasons. Chapters by filmmakers explore
issues of context and intent in their own projects. Scholars and
general readers interested in film and cultural studies will find
this an important volume.
