It is a peculiar fact of history that terminology lags behind the historical event or situation. Perhaps nowhere is this more the case than with the concept of ?genocide,? a term that was not coined until 1943, despite the fact genocides had been occurring almost from the dawn of human history. This course is a comparative study of the paradigmatic case of genocide, namely the Holocaust, in the context of other acts of genocide throughout history, including those in North and South America, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, and Yugoslavia, among others. We will analyze and compare the historical situations that gave rise to these various acts of genocide and formulate arguments to explain why and how these genocides could have occurred in their given historical epochs, identify, categorize and examine the main victims, perpetrators, bystanders, and rescuers in each situation, evaluate the impacts of these genocides on the targeted group(s), and debate whether similar events could possibly happen in the future and how they could be prevented. |
