Beskrivning

Genocide has become a part of the contemporary global expression of political violence. After all, every continent has had its genocide, but genocide in Africa and the African diaspora is distinctly different from those in Europe or the West. This text approaches genocide from within the context of Africa and the African diaspora to examine political and philosophical after-effects of global colonialism.As genocidal state violence has become prominent through colonialism, its appearance in Europe and the West have developed sharply against how it appears in colonized spaces within the African diaspora. This text argues that such a difference in orientation is needed to develop new concepts, critical approaches, and perspectives on the intersections between colonialism, political violence, and anti-black politics as a way of critically understanding global genocide and the presence of continual genocidal violence.

Recensioner i media

Critical Perspectives on African Genocide ~ a suspenseful, one-of-a-kind collection of compelling testimonies by a team of brave African and pro-Africa scholars who fearlessly dare to expose the partiality of the western-dominated International Community, which adamantly refuses to assign the “genocide” label to acts of barbaric violence perpetrated against African people in Africa and black diasporas, thus endorsing the ugly and racist notion that Black lives do not matter.
