Postgenocide
Interdisciplinary Reflections on the Effects of Genocide
«Too often books on genocide and mass atrocity studies suffer the defect of being centred in one discipline and focused on the causes or events of the genocide. This book does not. It is very usefully interdisciplinary and suitably examines the impacts, effects, and legacies of massive human rights abuses in several contexts. It explores the efficacy of a range of responses, legal and others, to massive human rights abuses. There is tremendous value to this book for readers from a range of disciplines who are interested in going beyond what the literature usually offers.»
Jeremy Sarkin, Nova University of Lisbon; Former Chairperson-Rapporteur of the United Nations Workin

This volume introduces 'postgenocide' as a novel approach to study genocide and its effects after mass killing has ended. It investigates how the material violence of genocide translates into contests over memory, remembrance, and laws, and the re-imagining of political community. Contributions come from academics across a broad range of disciplines, including law, political science, sociology, and ethnography
Chapters in this volume explore the various permutations of genocide harms, and scrutinise the efficacy of genocide laws and the prospects for their enforcement. Others engage with socio-political responses to genocide, including efforts to reconciliation, as well as genocide's impacts on victims' communities. Contributions examine the reconstruction of genocide narratives in the display of victims' objects in museums, galleries, and archives.This book brings together cutting edge research from
a variety of disciplines, to address formerly overlooked themes and cases, exploring what a diversity of perspectives can bring to bear on genocide scholarship as a whole.

«Postgenocide is an extremely interesting book ... A reading like this is recommended since it leaves the person who approaches it with many questions and the courage to inquire.»
Antonella Giordano, Nordic Journal of Human Rights
«This is an excellent volume that makes an innovative and valuable contribution to the available literature on genocide studies.»
Aldo Zammit Borda, Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal
«Postgenocide makes a significant contribution to the literature on genocide. Klejda Mulaj and a multi-disciplinary group of distinguished contributors use the novel approach of postgenocide to consider the effects of genocide on society. They examine the role of law in criminalising state responsibility for genocide and enabling postgenocide recovery, how victims' communities react to genocide denial, and how survivors seek recognition and redress in the aftermath of genocide. An essential reading for anyone keen to understand the effects of genocide with the view of mitigating their devastating repercussions.»
Karen E. Smith, London School of Economics and Political Science
«An important volume that combines an interdisciplinary approach to understanding life after genocide. The volume explores in a comparative setting various means that societies can use to overcome horrors of genocide. Highly recommended for those wishing to comprehend how individuals, groups and societies can move past the violence and hate of genocide.»
Steven Roper, Florida Atlantic University
