Intergenerational Survivors of Genocide and Mass Atrocities

Intergenerational Survivors of Genocide and Mass Atrocities, the first volume in the Routledge Studies In Genocide And Crimes Against Humanity series, examines the profound impact of inherited trauma on knowledge production. Saghar Shahidi-Birjandian presents a collection of perspectives from survivors who actively engage in scholarship, pedagogy, and advocacy. This work centers survivor positionality as a vital source of epistemic insight, exploring how lived experiences shape the study of atrocity and moral inheritance.

This academic text serves as a significant resource for those studying political science, sociology, and international relations. It addresses the ethical tensions and structural conditions faced by survivor-scholars within the fields of peacebuilding and transitional justice. By analyzing personal and communal ways of knowing, Intergenerational Survivors of Genocide and Mass Atrocities, Volume 1, offers concrete recommendations for improving support across academic and humanitarian domains. This volume is a key text for anthropology and history studies.
