Description
The human tragedies of forgotten genocides are a stark reminder of the darkness that exists in human history. This collection of essays sheds light on eight unremembered and understudied genocidal conflicts, including those in German Southwest Africa, Burundi, eastern Congo, Tasmania, Tibet, and Kurdistan. Through the work of scholars from various fields, Forgotten Genocides: Oblivion, Denial, and Memory offers a nuanced examination of the circumstances surrounding these mass killings. The book reveals that deliberate concealment and manipulation of facts by perpetrators are often the norm, while memory can distort the past and blame the victims. This volume provides an important analysis of the diversity of contexts in which genocidal phenomena emerge. By exploring these previously overlooked cases, Forgotten Genocides contributes to a broader understanding of the complexities of human conflict and the importance of remembering long-forgotten crimes.
