{"product_id":"with-intent-to-destroy-colin-martin-tatz-9781859845509","title":"With Intent to Destroy: Reflecting on Genocide","description":"As heirs of the Enlightenment, we in the West tend to view ourselves as humane, rational and reasonable. Genocides are atrocities that 'others' commit, so revealing their backwardness and essential 'otherness'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColin Tatz's study of genocide exposes this Enlightenment-based self-image as dangerous complacency...especially in its examination of colonial genocides (what 'we', in Australia for example, got up to not so long ago) and the Holocaust (what some of 'us' did within the lifetimes of many of us). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA South African-Australian-Jew, Tatz provides a personal yet analytical and critical account of racism and anti-Semitism, and the termini to which such policies and practices have led in Germany, Turkey, South Africa and Australia. In so doing, he reveals how widespread is the (genocidal) propensity to resort to biological solutions to resolve social or political 'problems'. In addition, he raises general questions on the matter of denial...asking why, rather than what, denialists deny...and concludes with his reflections on many years of teaching about genocide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Martin Tatz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859845509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859845509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.92w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2004 pg. 1716","brand":"Colin Martin Tatz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448001212671,"sku":"9781859845509","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41b4b7e5-1810-4a90-add3-a7802c50ecac.jpg?v=1777236233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-intent-to-destroy-colin-martin-tatz-9781859845509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
