Bøger i Mass Violence in Modern History serien

This book deals with the Second World War in Southeastern Europe from the perspective of conditions on the ground during the conflict.

Conceptualizing Mass Violence draws attention to the conspicuous inability to inhibit mass violence in myriads forms and considers the plausible reasons for doing so. Focusing on a postcolonial perspective, the volume seeks to popularize and institutionalize the study of mass violence in South Asia.

Series statement taken from publisher's website.

This book draws on unpublished archival material and an innovative historiographical approach to analyze events and their legacy in comparative perspective.

The study of genocide has been appropriate in emphasizing the centrality of the Holocaust yet other preceding episodes of mass violence are of great significance. Taking a transnational and transhistorical approach, this volume redresses and replaces the silencing of the Armenian Genocide.
