"Across geographies of time and space, including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Rwanda, the authors reveal how past and present coalesce in powerful and complex ways to manifest in the atrocities of xenophobia and genocide. While the world’s eye is on the Russian-Ukrainian war, with the accompanying genocide in Ukraine, the book is a stark reminder of the fragility of peace, the all too easy negation of the “never again” promise, and of humanity’s unfortunate propensity to decompensate into a brutalizing inhumanity. Against this background is Rwanda’s story of reconciliation, rebuilding and hope that the world might draw lessons from. A must read for anyone with a moral impulse towards an undivided and a more peaceful world!"
Dr. Vishanthie Sewpaul, Emeritus Professor, University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), South Africa, Professor ii, University of Stavanger, Norway
"Xenophobia and Genocide are contentious notions in the wider landscape of mass atrocities and violence. Xenophobia and Genocide in South Asia and Beyond is a provocative collection of substantive and innovative essays on understudied issues that intersect between violence, power, and prejudices in South Asia and beyond. The contributors to the volume use lesser known and some popular case studies across spatial landscapes to present a critical narrative of existing and emerging mass atrocities. In the process, these scholars critically re-examine and provide innovative analyses of the conceptual notions of Xenophobia and Genocide even as they consider established institutional perspectives. The essays brilliantly challenge our existing notions of atrocities and violence and stimulate our understanding of the same. To that end, the book is a necessary read for students, researchers, and practitioners who wish to become familiar with the critical attributes of violence (emerging from economic effects of debt, fiscal deficits, capital flows, international trade, militarization, and globalization) as it manipulates consent and challenges democratic norms in places."
Dr Rajiv Thakur, Associate Professor of Geography, Missouri State University, West Plains and AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow - USAID
"This is a wonderful collection of thought-provoking eleven chapters, discussing very relevant and timely needed topics. It will prove to be a significant contribution to the critical understanding of the cases of Xenophobia and Genocide in five countries. The book will be handy and highly useful for the academic community."
