Evoking Genocide by Adam Jones |
| |
| Release Date:
October 20, 2010 |
| |
| Winner of Choice Outstanding Academic Book 2010
Evoking Genocide: Scholars and Activists Describe the Works that Shaped their Lives compiles sixty short essays, all but two of them original to this book, written by leading scholars and activists in the field of genocide studies. These authors pay eloquent tribute to the works of art and media that influenced their engagement with genocide and crimes against humanity. The subjects include books and stories, films, songs, drawings, documents, monuments, sculptures, personal testimonies, and even a Lego set.
In an accessible and often deeply personal way, contributors explore their own relationships with the works in question. Edited by Adam Jones, recently selected one of "Fifty Key Thinkers" in Holocaust and genocide studies, Evoking Genocide makes an important contribution to the study of the art and culture of mass atrocity.
Accompanying this edited volume is a website, www.evokinggenocide.org, which serves both to publicize the book and as a forum for readers and others to offer their thoughts on works that have influenced them personally. Readers are invited to visit the website and consider contributing their own essay, a number of which would be incorporated in any future editions of the book.

Conflict & Reconciliation: The Contribution of Religions by John W. Bowker |
| |
| Release Date:
October 17, 2008 |
| |
| Religions are involved in many long-running conflicts around the world from the Balkans and the Middle East to Kashmir and Sri Lanka. All that is well-known. Not so well-known are the resources that religions can bring, specifically and uniquely, to the process of peace and reconciliation after conflict. This book looks in detail at the ways in which the search for reconciliation is an obligation, even a command, in particular religions. Religions understand reconciliation very differently, and those differences are made clear in this book. But the quest for reconciliation, however differently it is understood, is an obligation in religions that should be much better understood and employed by those who seek peace in the world. Order
