How Not to Recognize Genocide
Promised Lands: The British and the Ottoman Middle East
The Long, Inescapable Reach of Genocide
Ü. Kurt, The Armenians of Aintab: The Economics of Genocide in an Ottoman Province
The Concentration Camp as Site of Refuge: The Rise of the Refugee Camp and the Great War in the Middle East
The refugee camp today has been naturalized as a product of failed international idealism and political expediency that serves as a timeless reminder of the plight of displaced peoples. This article explores the refugee camp’s origins as a product of a late Victorian imperial and military legacy and the contingencies of World War I. The use of the concentration camp as a tool to provide refuge and control displaced populations began during the wa…
B erel L ang . Genocide: The Act as Idea
Berel Lang’s Genocide: The Act as Idea has as its clear purpose the “defense of the concept and term ‘genocide’” (1). Raphael Lemkin originally coined the term “genocide” following World War II, and the very idea itself, Lang contends, remains a relevant, important, and indispensable guide to resolving the moral and political dilemmas created after the war. The book is a response to critics and those who would replace “genocide” with ultimately m…

This article analyzes the uses of silent film by humanitarian organizations to shape understandings of the purpose of emergency aid during the Great War. After peace was declared in 1918, the war in the East persisted for another 4 years. The continuation of the conflict until the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 led to unprecedented suffering for those populations affected by world war, famine and in the case of Ottoman Christian minori…

Humanitarianism, genocide and liberalism
The international response to genocide and human rights violations has received increasing attention by scholars in the humanities and social sciences. This article explores the history of the response to mass atrocity by assessing recent work on humanitarianism as an idea and in practice in the West. It argues that the impulse to defend the rights of others historically has been tied up with geopolitical and imperial concerns that shaped Europea…
