Mohamed Adhikari is Emeritus Associate Professor of History, University of Cape Town and received the inaugural Impact Award from the International Network of Genocide Scholars in 2020.
"A succinct, insightful, and highly readable text discussing an
issue that deserves to be integral to any world history
course. Using four finely crafted, yet widely dispersed, case
studies Adhikari strikingly shows how vulnerability and resistance
occur as the waves of global capitalism hit indigenous
societies."
—Robert Gordon, University of Vermont
“Illuminating and compelling. This is a volume about genocide, a
recurrent phenomenon in world history that, disturbingly, has
created our modernity. Mohamed Adhikari equips the reader with a
sound conceptual introduction, then provides four detailed yet
clear accounts of genocide in the Canary Islands, Queensland,
California, and German Southwest Africa. He has expertly provided
the big picture as well as the specifics true to each history.
Primary sources from each episode invite the reader’s participation
in analysis. A book with which to think and to teach others.”
—Lora Wildenthal, Rice University
