Book Synopsis Redefining Genocide by : Doctor Damien Short

Download or read book Redefining Genocide written by Doctor Damien Short and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this highly controversial and original work, Damien Short systematically rethinks how genocide is and should be defined. Rather than focusing solely on a narrow conception of genocide as direct mass-killing, through close empirical analysis of a number of under-discussed case studies – including Palestine, Sri Lanka, Australia and Alberta, Canada – the book reveals the key role played by settler colonialism, capitalism, finite resources and the ecological crisis in driving genocidal social death on a global scale.
