About the Book

This book explores the memory and representation of genocide as they affect individuals, communities and families, and artistic representations. It brings together a variety of disciplines from public health to philosophy, anthropology to architecture, offering readers interdisciplinary and international insights into one of the most important challenges in the 21st century. The book begins by describing the definitions and concepts of genocide from historical and philosophical perspectives. Next, it reviews memories of genocide in bodies and in societies as well as genocide in memory through lives, mental health and transgenerational effects. The book also examines the ways genocide has affected artistic works. From poetry to film, photography to theatre, it explores a range of artistic approaches to help demonstrate the heterogeneity of representations. This book provides a comprehensive and wide-ranging assessment of the many ways genocide has been remembered and represented. Itpresents an ideal foundation for understanding genocide and possibly preventing it from occurring again.

Review :
“An important volume on genocide studies … . The book’s strength is its disciplinary diversity. Readers across disciplines will benefit from discussions about memory practices from cultural and scientific perspectives. This diversity gives readers a unique chance to consider the range of issues with memory-making not often integrated into one book. … Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals.” (C. Pinto, Choice, Vol. 56 (01), September, 2018)
