In the context of mass violence, death does not constitute the end of the executors' work. Their victims' remains are often treated and manipulated in very specific ways, amounting in some cases to true social engineering, often with remarkable ingenuity. To address these seldom-documented phenomena, this volume includes chapters based on extensive primary and archival research to explore why, how and by whom these acts have been committed through recent history.Interdisciplinary in scope, Destruction and human remains will appeal to readers interested in the history and implications of genocide and mass violence, including researchers in anthropology, sociology, history, politics and modern warfare.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: HistoryBook Series: Human Remains and ViolenceItem Width: 14mmItem Weight: 313gAuthor: Jean-Marc DreyfusRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
