A Global History of Genocide
Professor Ben Kiernan is the multi-award-winning author of Blood and Soil: A World History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur, recipient of a 2008 Gold Medal for the Best Book in History.
In this illustrated lecture, he identifies powerful connections and patterns that, for nearly every case of genocide, gave early warning of the catastrophe to come: racism or religious prejudice, territorial expansionism, and obsessions with antiquity and agrarianism. He highlights the rich historical evidence and the importance of its tell-tale signs for predicting and preventing future genocides.
Co-presented by the Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation at Monash University.
