| Summary: | Within the broader context of comparative historical analysis, the anthology Empire, Colony, Genocide: Conquest, Occupation, and Subaltern Resistance in World History is an important contribution to the study of mass atrocity. Its nineteen chapters describe the enormous human toll that colonialist pretensions and imperialist aspirations have exacted. The authors seek above all to explain the linkages between the transition to post-colonialism—a transition that marks the emergence of modern states—and genocide. Though the leitmotif tends to be events occurring within Australia, the authors examine a wide range of genocidal events, experiences, and practices across time and space in ways that bespeak the near universality of genocidal conquest and cruelty. |
