Abstract:
Dirk Moses's 2021 The Problems of Genocide has generated some debates — but it should also be an essential reference for Holocaust scholars. Moving beyond polemics and the black-and-white debates about the Holocaust's uniqueness, this forum invites a critical assessment of the book from three disciplines – international law, philosophy, and history. The forum seeks to begin erasing disciplinary boundaries within Holocaust studies. Not only in this sense is Moses’s book precious for its analytical thrusts – such as permanent security and mass violence's paranoid worlds – and its far-reaching consequences for the study of mass violence.
