The genocide across Palestine continues under the name of a ceasefire. Mark Levene’s vast scholarly input on the subject of genocide will be a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of what we are fighting, what we are up against. With Trump normalising state assassins on the streets of US cities, Sai Englert’s work stresses how violent settler colonial structures remain embedded in US society today, not merely subjects for historians.
Sai Englert
Author of ‘Settler Colonialism: An Introduction’ and teaches at Leiden University in the Netherlands. His work focuses on understanding settler colonialism as a global system and historical process. Englert investigates how settler colonialism continues to shape the global economic and political order through the rapacious accumulation of resources, land, and labour, Indigenous dispossession and genocide, and the development of racism as a form of social control.
Mark Levene
Leading member and former executive member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. He is the author of numerous major scholarly works on genocide, including ‘The Crisis of Genocide’, a multi-volume study comprising ‘Devastation and Annihilation’. He is Emeritus Professor of Comparative History at the University of Southampton. His book ‘The Crisis of Genocide: The European Rimlands, 1912–1953’ received the biennial Lemkin Award from the New York-based Institute for the Study of Genocide in 2015.
