genocide studies  

Définition

  • Genocide developed as an area of study in the 1970s as part of a larger movement of rewriting the curriculum to include subjects traditionally left out and de-emphasized, from slavery and colonialism to labor and women's history, and also as an outgrowth of scholarship and interest about the World War II Holocaust. From the destruction of indigenous peoples to the Armenian genocide and Nazi genocides, new research challenged traditional state narratives and uncovered complex, destructive processes, such as patterns of intentional state design and execution, a range of perpetrators and accomplices, ongoing denial, the role of modernity, and the lack of accountability and of justice.
