Description
Redefining Genocide: Settler Colonialism, Social Death and Ecocide by Damien Short is a thought-provoking exploration of how genocide is defined and understood. Through in-depth analysis of several under-discussed case studies, including Palestine, Sri Lanka, Australia, and Alberta, Canada, the book reveals the significant role played by settler colonialism, capitalism, finite resources, and ecological crisis in driving genocidal social death on a global scale. This work challenges conventional notions of genocide, instead focusing on the broader structural factors that contribute to mass violence and social destruction.
