I would like to extend my thanks to the editors of the Journal of Genocide Research for offering me the opportunity to comment on Professor Katz’s criticism of a few passages from a book and an art
Three Responses to ‘Can There Be Genocide Without the Intent to Commit Genocide?’
American Holocaust
For four hundred years-from the first Spanish assaults against the Arawak people of Hispaniola in the 1490s to the US Army's massacre of Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee in the 1890s-the indigenous inhabitants of North and South America endured an unending firestorm of violence. During that time the native population of the Western Hemisphere declined by as many as 100 million people. Indeed, as historian David E. Stannard argues in this stunning ne…

Chapter 06
Christopher Columbuss VIEWED himself as a man of divine destiny in an age of apocalyptic promise. He was unequivocally sure of himself. And one thing of which he was especially certain was that the world was going to end in 150 years. He had made the calculations himself, but they were based on his careful reading of a work entitled Imago Mundi, by the Catholic Cardinal and late Chancellor of the Univar City of Paris-and high priest at the Inquis…
Chapter 05
There is a Moment in Toni Morrison’s moving novel, Beloved, when Stamp Paid, a black man in the mid-nineteenth-century American South, notices something red stuck to the bottom of his flatbed boat as he is tying it up alongside a river bank. It was a particularly bad time for black people in a century of particularly bad times for them. “White folks were still on the loose,” writes Morrison: “Whole towns wiped clean of Negroes; eighty-seven lynch…
Chapter 01
it’s GONE NOW, drained and desiccated in the aftermath of the Spanish conquest, but once there was an interconnected complex of lakes high up in the Valley of Mexico that was as long and as wide as the city of London is today. Surrounding these waters, known collectively as the Lake of the Moon, were scores of towns and cities whose population, combined with that of the outlying communities of central Mexico, totaled about 25,000,000 men, women, …
Chapter 02
Combined, North America and South America cover an area of 16,000,000 square miles, more than a quarter of the land surface of the globe. To its first human inhabitants, tens of thousands of years ago, this enormous domain they had discovered was literally a world unto itself: a world of miles-high mountains and vast fertile prairies, of desert shrub lands and dense tropical rain forests, of frigid arctic tundra and hot murky swamps, of deep and …
Chapter 03
The Spain That Christopher Columbus and his crews left behind just before dawn on August 3, 1492, as they sailed forth from Palos and out into the Atlantic, was for most of its people a land of violence, squalor, treachery, and intolerance. In this respect Spain was no different from the rest of Europe.

Chapter 04
In The Area around the town of Barquicimeto, in the lowlands near the northern coast of Venezuela, a mysterious fire like a will o’ the wisp sometimes seems to be burning in the marshes. It is, tradition has it, the “soul of the traitor Lope de Aguirre [who] wanders in the savannahs, like a flame that flies the approach of men.”

American Holocaust
David Stannard's book focuses on the larger social and cultural issues involved in the invasion of America by European nations. The first two chapters of the book describe the Americas prior to this invasion and detail the variety of rich cultures that existed then. Another chapter deals with the Spanish and Portuguese invasion of Central and South America and describes the devastation left inthe wake of these invasions. A fourth chapter describe…
Disease and Infertility
During the past fifty years few subjects of historical consequence have been more controversial than that of the population history of the American Indian. At one extreme, in 1939 Alfred L. Kroeber estimated the population of pre-Columbian North America at about 900,000. At the other extreme, in 1983 Henry F. Dobyns estimated it at about 18,000,000. Since the total North American Indian population by the early twentieth century was no more than 3…

Few scholars would care to attempt a defense of the stereotypes commonly applied to the inhabitants of various nations, yet those stereotypes frequently creep into their writing on such matters.

The Puritan Way of Death
The Puritan Way of Death is more than a book about Puritans or about death. It is also about family, community, and identity in the modern world. Even before publication, eminent historians, sociologists, and religious scholars in the United States and Europea-among them, Gordon Wood, Philippe Aries, William Clebsch, and Robert Nisbet-hailed it as a pathbreaking, provocative, and exciting work, a terse, urbane, learned, clear, humane volume

The Ideology of Old Age and Death in American History
that have engaged anthropologists, psychologists, and sociologists for almost 30 years. Swept along by a new spirit of inquiry into subjects commonly passed over in silence, the logic of social history at last suggests that-like childhood, adolescence, women, and the family-old age and death also deserve historical attention. Yet this logic artificially approaches its subjects as if they existed in discrete, isolated categories and places them in…

Studies the burgeoning field of psychohistory - from Freud, its primogenitor, to its present-day academic practitioners - and argues that little, if any, psychohistory is good history.
