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.

Raphael Lemkin (1900–59) was the pioneer of genocide studies. Born in Poland, he worked as a lawyer in the 1930s on concepts of “barbarity” and “vandalism” to describe, and outlaw, the destruction of ethnic and religious minorities. Fleeing the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, he took refuge in the United States, where in 1944 he published Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, republished by Lawbook Exchange in 2005). In this work, Lemkin coined the term “genocide,” and explored its strategies and consequences in the lands under Nazi occupation. Lemkin spent the immediate postwar years in a relentless campaign to persuade the United Nations to adopt the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which it did in 1948. In 1951, the convention attracted a sufficient number of ratifications to become international law. The final years of Lemkin’s life were spent in penury and obscurity, but the modern field of comparative genocide studies has built upon his foundational contribution. His wealth of previously-unpublished writings continue to appear, influencing new generations of scholars and students.

Reviews

  1. Mia Farrow

    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

  2. Gerald Caplan

    “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
