| Sumario: | A startlingly original work that demonstrates how and why genocide studies has so far failed to sufficiently engage with settler colonialism, ecocide and capitalism as key drivers of genocides. "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."--Publisher's website |
