Ethnocide, first coined in 1944 by Jewish exile Raphael Lemkin (who also coined the term \"genocide\"), describes the systemic erasure of a people's ancestral culture. For Black Americans, who have endured this atrocity for generations, this erasure dates back to the transatlantic slave trade and reached new resonance in a post-Trump world.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barrett Holmes Pitner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1640095594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640095595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Counterpoint LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Barrett Holmes Pitner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073090908415,"sku":"9781640095595","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5024391b-faed-4be0-b851-7bb4ec7295a7.jpg?v=1685445757","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crime-without-a-name-barrett-holmes-pitner-9781640095595","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
