Round Table (Part 5): What’s Raphaël Lemkin Got to do with Genocide Studies
Raphal Lemkin and the Concept of Genocide. In my response to each reviewer, I cover a lot of ground
Round Table (Full Symposium): What’s Raphaël Lemkin Got to do with Genocide Studies? A Conversation on Gender, Culture, Economics, Categorical Violence, and Colonization with Professors Sarah Federman…
s book covers the emergence of the concept and word "genocide," contextualizing Lemkin's intellectual development in interwar Poland and exploring the evolving connection between his philosophical writings, his work in the law of international finance and economic conflict, his juridical works, and his politics over the following decades.

Raphaël Lemkin, Genocide, Colonialism, Famine, and Ukraine
Many words have been used to name and describe the Great Ukrainian Famine of 1932-33, including “famine” and “catastrophe,” “the Holodomor,” and now “genocide.” Was the famine genocide? Was the famine part of a genocide? Is the word genocide an exaggeration? Is naming the famine a genocide part of an attempt to dramatize events for political purposes today? Is the refusal to call the famine a genocide an act of genocide denial? This article argue…

America may not be at war, but it is not at peace. Recent public and political rhetoric have revealed the escalation of a pervasive and dangerous “us versus them” ideology in the United States. This powerful book is motivated by the contributors’ recognition of continuing structural violence and injustice, which are linked to long-standing systems of racism, social marginalization, xenophobia, poverty, and inequality in all forms. Calls to restor…
Genocide: The Act as IdeaBerel Lang
Outside the field of genocide studies, colleagues who study civil war, violent conflict, or political violence often find it hard to believe that we spend hours at conferences debating whether or not people who died in conflict were the victims of genocide or some other kind of horror. Such is the character of our field, where seemingly endless discussions over the meaning of genocide constitute a core issue,1 and the moral capital of the word “g…
Genocide Discourses: American and Russian Strategic Narratives of Conflict in Iraq and Ukraine
This paper presents the concept of “genocide discourses”, defined as a type of strategic narrative that shapes the way individuals and groups position themselves and others and act, playing a critical role in the production of violence and efforts to reduce it. Genocide discourses tend to present genocide as fundamentally a-political, and hold that genocidal systems are dislodged only when they are swept away through external violence. Secondly, …

Introduction to the Special Issue
Genocide, the ‘family of mind’ and the romantic signature of Raphael Lemkin
On 9 December 1948, the United Nations adopted the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The first humanitarian law of the UN, the Convention was singlehandedly pushed by the jurist Raphael Lemkin, who coined the word genocide in Axis rule in occupied Europe (1944). Using Lemkin's unpublished writings, this essay seeks to correct several misunderstandings of Lemkin's thinking on genocide as the destruction of nati…
