  • Genocide: a Comprehensive Introduction Is the Most Wide-Ranging Textbook on Geno- Cide Yet Published
    ■ GENOCIDE Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is the most wide-ranging textbook on geno- cide yet published. The book is designed as a text for upper-undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a primer for non-specialists and general readers interested in learning about one of humanity’s enduring blights. Over the course of sixteen chapters, genocide scholar Adam Jones: • Provides an introduction to genocide as both a historical phenomenon and an analytical-legal concept. • Discusses the role of imperalism, war, and social revolution in fueling genocide. • Supplies no fewer than seven full-length case studies of genocides worldwide, each with an accompanying box-text. • Explores perspectives on genocide from the social sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science/international relations, and gender studies. • Considers “The Future of Genocide,” with attention to historical memory and genocide denial; initiatives for truth, justice, and redress; and strategies of intervention and prevention. Written in clear and lively prose, liberally sprinkled with illustrations and personal testimonies from genocide survivors, Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is destined to become a core text of the new generation of genocide scholarship. An accompanying website (www.genocidetext.net) features a broad selection of supplementary materials, teaching aids, and Internet resources. Adam Jones, Ph.D. is currently Associate Research Fellow in the Genocide Studies Program at Yale University. His recent publications

  • Introduction: History and Its Discontents
    Notes Introduction: History and Its Discontents 1. Compare Bain Attwood’s comments in ‘In the Age of Testimony: The Stolen Generations Narrative, “Distance”, and Public History’, Public Culture, 20, 1 (2008), 94–95. My thanks go to Becky Jinks for reading – and greatly improving – an earlier version of this Introduction. 2. See, for example, Lothar Kroll, Utopie als Ideologie: Geschichtsdenken und politisches HandelnimDrittenReich(Paderborn: Schöningh, 1999). 3. On the distinction between historicism in the sense of the speculative philos- ophy of history and historicism in the sense of setting events meaningfully in their historical context in the tradition of Ranke, see Frank Ankersmit, Meaning, Truth and Reference in Historical Representation (Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2012). 4. See my discussions of these issues in Chapter 12 and in ‘History, Memory, Testi- mony’, in Jane Kilby and Antony Rowland (eds.), The Future of Testimony (London: Routledge, 2013). 5. Tony Judt with Timothy Snyder, Thinking the Twentieth Century (London: William Heinemann, 2012). That does not mean I agree wholeheartedly with their partic- ular contextualisations; for example, Judt and Snyder suggest that the emergence of Holocaust consciousness in the West has buried an awareness of the sophistica- tion of Central and Eastern European history and thought, which is now regarded as interesting only insofar as it illuminates the background to and possibility of the Holocaust. Other, positive traditions have been forgotten (237). I would suggest that things are a little more complicated than that, both with respect to Holocaust consciousness – which has hardly been a uniform process in ‘the West’ – and to Western knowledge of the history of Eastern Europe.

  • Nato's Demographer
    REVIEWS Gunnar Heinsohn, Söhne und Weltmacht: Terror im Aufstieg und Fall der Nationen Piper: Munich 2008, €9.20, paperback 189 pp, 978 3 492 25124 2 Göran Therborn NATO’S DEMOGRAPHER Given the permanent social weight of population questions, it is remarkable that their hold on mainstream social and political discourse has been so inter- mittent and precarious. Within the academy, demography and demographic history are usually small, rather marginal disciplines, albeit duly respected for their rigour and for the brilliance of their top performers. Politically, population issues have normally been advanced from the right—and from might. They were foregrounded in mercantilist discourse on states and com- petitive power, in the dystopian political economy of Thomas Malthus and in the planning for national mass armies—particularly in France, with its avant-garde popular birth control. In the 19th-century Americas, the question was raised in the form of targeted immigration. ‘To govern is to populate’, it was said in Argentina. In Cuba and Brazil, European immigrants were perceived as an agency for the social transformation from plantation slav- ery to capitalism and commodity production, ‘whitening’ the population in the process. In North America, European immigration was the means to conquer the West. The falling European birth rates of the 1920s and 1930s induced a major concern with population across the political spectrum, from Fascism to Scandinavian Social Democracy, via ‘national government’ Britain. In Sweden, Alva and Gunnar Myrdal, the star couple of reformist modernism, managed to make population the basis of a large-scale social-policy agenda, which uniquely included easing women’s participation in the labour force 136 new left review 56 mar apr 2009 therborn: Heinsohn 137 and lifting restrictions on contraceptives, in a vast programme to promote voluntary parenthood.

  • In Search of the Ideological Origins of the Holocaust
    IN SEARCH OF THE IDEOLOGICAL ORIGINS OF THE HOLOCAUST Cyprian Blamires MA (Oxon) D.Phil Maryvale Institute Lecture given at the Center of European Studies and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra 25 June 2020 Good afternoon. I would like to thank Dr. Armenteros and Dr. Bello for inviting me to speak with you today. I am very sorry that I cannot be with you in person in Santo Domingo to give this conference. I look forward to coming to visit and speak on another topic at a later date. What I am going to do today is to offer a first glance at a book which I have been working on since the publication of my World Fascism: a Historical Encyclopedia .1 The subject is incredibly important, but at the same time extremly delicate. The Holocaust: one of the most horrendous atrocities in all of modern history, which consisted in the deliberate and systematic shooting, gassing, or murder by brutal neglect of human beings, men, women, children, picked up from all over Europe and sent by train to a hideous end. This war waged by Hitler and his inner cabinet against the Jews of Europe has been the object of a vast quantity of studies. However, only a relatively small number of them has addressed the central question: Why? Why did the National Socialist leaders decide not simply to enslave or rob or exploit the Jews, but actually to remove them from the face of the earth? I am a historian of ideas.

    PEACE THROUGH LAW? THE FAILURE OF A NOBLE EXPERIMENT Robert J. Delahunty* John C. Yoo** ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, By Erich Maria Remarque. A.W. Wheen trans. 1929. New York: Ballantine Books. 1982. Pp. 296. $13.95. I. THE NOVEL AND ITS RECEPTION Ever since its publication in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has been regarded as a landmark of antiwar literature.' Appearing a decade after the end of the First World War, the novel became a literary sensation almost overnight. Within a year of publication, it had been translated into twenty languages, including Chinese, and by April 1930, sales for twelve of the twenty editions stood at 2.5 million.! Remarque was reputed to have the largest readership in the world. Hollywood took note, and an equally successful film appeared in 1930.' The success of the novel was as unexpected as it was spectacular. Read- ers across Europe had displayed little interest in books about the war throughout the • 1920s,4 but after Remarque's success, the public's appetite proved voracious. It was as if the publics of the great belligerents needed the perspective of a decade before they could begin to relive the experience of the war. The war's scale and horror are scarcely imaginable to us-indeed, they were similarly incomprehensible to those • who• 5 lived through it. The military death toll was between nine and ten million.
