About this ebook

This book explores concepts of Cultural genocide, its definitions, place in international law, the systems and methods that contribute to its manifestations, and its occurrences.

Through a systematic approach and comprehensive analysis, international and interdisciplinary contributors from the fields of genocide studies, legal studies, criminology, sociology, archaeology, human rights, colonial studies, and anthropology examine the legal, structural, and political issues associated with cultural genocide. This includes a series of geographically representative case studies from the USA, Brazil, Australia, West Papua, Iraq, Palestine, Iran, and Canada.

This volume is unique in its interdisciplinarity, regional coverage, and the various methods of cultural genocide represented, and will be of interest to scholars of genocide studies, cultural studies and human rights, international law, international relations, indigenous studies, anthropology, and history.

Though partly this is a good book, with the right information, like on the West Papua cultural genocide by Indonesia. the issua of Palestina should not be in this book and has totally no bearing on the subject. purely political. One of the largest cultural genocides in human history -the one on Tibet- is even missing, It is easy to read though but I would not recommend it to buy. It lacks several important cases. better borrow if you get the chance
