Synopsis

Evoking Genocide: Scholars and Activists Describe the Works that Shaped their Lives compiles sixty short essays, all but two of them original to this book, written by leading scholars and activists in the field of genocide studies. These authors pay eloquent tribute to the works of art and media that influenced their engagement with genocide and crimes against humanity. The subjects include books and stories, films, songs, drawings, documents, monuments, sculptures, personal testimonies, and even a Lego set.

In an accessible and often deeply personal way, contributors explore their own relationships with the works in question. Edited by Adam Jones, recently selected one of "Fifty Key Thinkers" in Holocaust and genocide studies, Evoking Genocide makes an important contribution to the study of the art and culture of mass atrocity.

Accompanying this edited volume is a website, www.evokinggenocide.org, which serves both to publicize the book and as a forum for readers and others to offer their thoughts on works that have influenced them personally. Readers are invited to visit the website and consider contributing their own essay, a number of which would be incorporated in any future editions of the book. All correspondence regarding the website may be addressed to the editor at adam@evokinggenocide.org

Endorsements

“Evoking Genocide comprises sixty brief essays, fascinatingly diverse, each deploying
a particular textual or
visual touchstone in an effort to reveal the author’s struggle
to confront the ultimate crime. The best of them bring us powerfully close to
the
singular agony that comes from taking genocide seriously, from refusing to turn
away from evil even if it is unfathomable.” />
—Mia Farrow, advocate and actor

“Those who spend their lives studying genocide in order to prevent its recurrence /> are by definition a curious breed. These very personal and often moving essays
reveal the disparate sources that have motivated otherwise
‘normal’ women and
men to immerse themselves in trying to fathom the most egregious examples of
man’s inhumanity to man (and yes,
it’s mostly men). Readers may be surprised to
find themselves wanting to join the cause.”

— Gerald Caplan, author of The
Betrayal of Africa
