The United States and Genocide: (Re)Defining the Relationship by Jeffrey Bachman

Description: The United States and Genocide by Jeffrey Bachman This book challenges the dominant narrative of the United States relationship with genocide through a comprehensive analysis of this relationship, situated within the broader genocide studies literature, while emphasizing the role of state responsibility for the commission of genocide and the crimes ancillary acts. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description There exists a dominant narrative that essentially defines the US relationship with genocide through what the US has failed to do to stop or prevent genocide, rather than through how its actions have contributed to the commission of genocide. This narrative acts to conceal the true nature of the US relationship with many of the governments that have committed genocide since the Holocaust, as well as the US own actions. In response, this book challenges the dominant narrative through a comprehensive analysis of the US relationship with genocide.The analysis is situated within the broader genocide studies literature, while emphasizing the role of state responsibility for the commission of genocide and the crimes ancillary acts. The book addresses how a culture of impunity contributes to the resiliency of the dominant narrative in the face of considerable evidence that challenges it. Bachmans narrative presents a far darker relationship between the US and genocide, one that has developed from the start of the Genocide Conventions negotiations and has extended all the way to present day, as can be seen in the relationships the US maintains with potentially genocidal regimes, from Saudi Arabia to Myanmar.This book will be of interest to scholars, postgraduates, and students of genocide studies, US foreign policy, and human rights. A secondary readership may be found in those who study international law and international relations. Author Biography Jeffrey S. Bachman is Professorial Lecturer in Human Rights and Director of the Ethics, Peace, and Global Affairs MA Program at the American Universitys School of International Service, USA.

Again and Again: The US Relationship with Genocide Review "This book...reopens the academic debate on a relatively under-researched question: the role of the United States in the perpetration and prevention of mass violence and more specifically genocide. Very critical of the American authorities, the book is nonetheless based on a solidly argumentation and, in the end, is quite convincing."- Julien Zarifian, Politique Americaine, 2018 Details ISBN1138047953 ISBN-10 1138047953 ISBN-13 9781138047952 Format Hardcover Series Routledge Studies in Genocide and Crimes against Humanity Imprint Routledge Subtitle (Re)Defining the Relationship Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2017 DEWEY 304.663 Publication Date 2017-11-30 Short Title The United States and Genocide Language English UK Release Date 2017-11-30 AU Release Date 2017-11-30 NZ Release Date 2017-11-30 Author Jeffrey Bachman Pages 220 Alternative 9780367194963 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
