Books about Genocidal from Amazon.com

For five consecutive generations, from roughly 18801980, Native American children in the United States and Canada were forcibly taken from their families and relocated to residential schools. The stated goal of this government program was to "kill the Indian to save the man." Half of the children did not survive the experience, and those who did were left permanently scarred. The resulting alcoholism, suicide, and the transmission of trauma to their own children has led to a social disintegration with results that can only be described as genocidal.

Ward Churchill is the author of A Little Matter of Genocide, among other books. He is currently a Professor of American Indian Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

This book investigates three Indian revolts in the Americas: the 1680 uprising of the Pueblo Indians against the Spanish; the Great Rebellion in Bolivia, 1780-82; and the Caste War of Yucatan that began in 1849 and was not finally crushed until 1903. Nicholas A. Robins examines their causes, course, nature, leadership, and goals. He finds common features: they were revitalization movements that were both millenarian and exterminatory in their means and objectives; they sought to restore native rule and traditions to their societies; and, they were movements born of despair and oppression that were sustained by the belief that they would witness the dawning of a new age. His work underscores the link that may be found, but is not inherent, between genocide, millennialism, and revitalization movements in Latin America during the colonial and early national periods. Nicholas A. Robins is a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Duke University..

This is a continuation and completion of the work begun in the seminal essay "Ethics of One". This second work contemplates our tendency to be genocidal and warmongers - legating this attitude from one generation to another. Appoint made many times through the citing of the ad hoc examples from the past and present. An approach, which highlights - as it unfolds - our extraordinary fear of women in the course of history along with everything. Demanding a change in our attitude toward woman, and anything else we do not understand. As a whole this works focuses on what Jean Ovide Bourdeau claims are artificially inculcated specie-specific physiological dysfunctions. A reality that makes it normal to attempt to be as mean to each other as possible, and which ultimately culminates in our unkind and insane tendency to cause terror and horrendous injustice. The work highlights most unequivocally, that our contemporary thinking and behavior tends to promote and adopt a philosophy in which, both, malevolence and insanity govern our behavior, with callousness and cowardice as their servants slavishly carrying out acts of horrid violence in support of self-righteous a priori assertions. It is precisely from this point of view that this work emphasizes what appears without a doubt to be our compulsive behavior for violence, in spite of the fact that it is easy and natural to be sane and kind (i.e., to be ourselves). This implies that, we have to really work hard against our natural tendency for cooperation; be the self we are meant to be; and live in bliss. That is why; we insanely and unkindly insist in remaining in the violent and monarchic patriarchal paradigm in which we now find ourselves. The unusual structure of this essay - made of shorter thoughts and yet still very much focusing on the multi generational legacy of violence - is made all the more evident through the bluntness of the ideas expressed. These emerge as more or less irreverent and random flashes of awareness, often hovering between poles of rationality and intuition. Nonetheless, they reflect a respect for the bravery required when, we insist on living sanely and in kindness in a world seemingly bent otherwise. Above all, this essay confronts the obvious intellectual syndrome of terror resulting from our attitude toward change: evident in the Ethical Disease of Self-righteousness, and demonstrated callousness and cowardice, as a way of viewing the issue at hand, and perhaps finding a way out of our lethal predicament. As a whole, it questions the reason used by so many of us ethically empowering ourselves to behave like violent narcissistic predators - as if it was most natural. These rather brief comments, laid out occasionally is complete poetic forms, are also meant to wake us out of the legacy nourishing this age of Self-righteousness mow growing like fungus all around us; as it manifestation takes shape in a whole amalgam of acts of terrorism - both at the private level within families or internationally at he planetary level. In the thoughts found here, we discover loose ends to unravel, patterns to identify, similarities to observe, historical events never to be forgotten, and so on... and whatever our opinions, each provoking thought shakes us out of our conformist attitude. Yes! The message here is simple. We must wake up, and get out of the slumber into which, we have lodges ourselves in the course of history..
