A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas 1492 to the Present

More about the book

Exploring the concept of genocide, this collection of essays delves into both legal and cultural definitions. The author confronts Holocaust denial and the debate over its uniqueness, while drawing parallels to the atrocities faced by Indigenous peoples in the Americas since Columbus. Churchill argues that these historical and ongoing injustices meet the criteria for genocide, critiquing how the international understanding of the term has been manipulated for political purposes. His work advocates for the recognition of Indigenous suffering within this critical framework.
