Genocide and Propaganda
A Booklist Editors' Choice book, 2025 Perpetrators of genocidal violence have regularly orchestrated propaganda campaigns using newspapers, radio, televisions, the internet, and other means to justify mass killings. Through 50 primary sources, readers will learn about 11 genocides, spanning the 19th and 20th centuries, including campaigns against Native Americans, the Holocaust, and more recent tragedies in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda. During these periods of history, propaganda was used to alienate the target population; provide reasons for the “necessary” persecution of the group; and reinforce the authority of the perpetrating government. Each section begins with an introductory essay exploring the course of the genocide, giving readers the background knowledge needed to understand the documents that follow. Each piece of propaganda is accompanied by a brief introduction that provides key contextual information, as well as in-depth analysis of the impact that propaganda had. Augmenting the main text are a collection of 19 high-interest sidebars and an end-of-volume bibliography.

The Representation of Perpetrators in Global Documentary Film

The originality of these narratives lies in the shift in point of view they propose: their protagonists, rather than being the victims of the atrocities, are instead their perpetrators. A significant number of documentary films examining crimes against humanity from the perpetrators’ perspective have been released in the first two ...
