Hewitt.The organization 'Genocide Watch' estimates that 100 million civilians around the globe have lost their lives as a result of genocide in only the past sixty years. Over the same period, the visual arts in the form of documentary footage has aided international efforts to document genocide and prosecute those responsible, but this book argues that fictional representation occupies an equally important and problematic place in the process of shaping minds on the subject. Edited by two of the leading experts in the field, this title analyzes fictional and semi-fictional portrayals of genocide, focusing on, amongst others, the repression of indigenous populations in Australia, the genocide of Native Americans in the 19th century, the Herero genocide, Armenia, the Holodomor (Stalin's policy of starvation in Ukraine), the Nazi Holocaust, Nanking and Darfur.International library of twentieth century history ;92.Genocide in motion picturesHistoryFilms, cinemaGenocide in motion picturesHistory.791.43/658405318Friedman Jonathan C.1966-Hewitt William(William L.),1947-YDXCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910826193003321The history of genocide in cinema4075883UNINA
