| Summary: | "Being Human: Genocide and Hospitality in Kurdistan-Iraq examines the Iraqi Ba'th state and the al-Anfal operations as one of the twentieth century's ultimate acts of the destruction of humanity. It remains the first and only crime of state in the Middle East to be tried under the 1948 UN Genocide Convention, the 1950 Nuremberg Principles, and the 1969 Iraqi Penal Code, and to be recognized as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Baghdad between 2006-2007. Being Human gathers together social sciences, humanities, and the arts to understand modern state violence and its afterlife. It is a work of anthropological hospitality, returning to the violence of political modernity only to turn to human survivors' hospitality, infinite pursuit of justice, and acts of translation-testimonial narratives, law, politics, archive, poetry, artworks, museums, memorial and symbolic cemeteries in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq" |
