Rather than focusing solely on a narrow conception of genocide as direct mass-killing, through close empirical analysis of a number of under-discussed case studies - including Palestine, Sri Lanka, Australia and Alberta, Canada - the book reveals the key role played by settler colonialism, capitalism, finite resources and the ecological crisis in driving genocidal social death on a global scale."--Publisher's website.GenocideSociological aspectsEcologyMoral and ethical aspectsGenocide & ethnic cleansingbicsscGenocideSociological aspects.EcologyMoral and ethical aspects.Genocide & ethnic cleansing364.15/1Short Damien1624936TOHCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910809983403321Redefining genocide3960161UNINA
