"The wrong of genocidal violence extends for generations after the attacks have stopped, particularly when the harm is compounded by deniers and state-sponsored denialism. Drawing on the experience of generations of Armenians, Altanian reflects on what it is to remember, to bear witness, and to know, showing how denial attacks survivors’ and descendants’ moral value, their social existence, and their epistemological standing as those who know." Anne O’Byrne, Stony Brook University, USA"The Epistemic Injustice of Genocide Denialism provides a timely analysis of the harms and wrongs of genocide denial, not only with respect to those who actively engage such denials, but also with respect to those who maintain the structural conditions that make such denials possible."Gaile Pohlhaus, Jr., Miami University (Ohio), USA"Altanian’s interdisciplinary philosophical study is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the specific harms of genocide denialism."Imge Oranlı, Arizona State University, USA
