Beschreibungen
The field of genocide in Arabic is an extremely poor field. We commit genocides and do not bother to think about them and study them. The number of books published in Arabic, both written and translated, in this field does not match at all the numbers of genocides that occurred in our ancient, modern, and contemporary history. This translated book by Professor John Docker, The Origins of Violence: Religion, History, and Genocide, is the first comprehensive book in Arabic about genocide. Covers its history in animal and human society. It employs the concept of genocide according to Raphael Lamkin and tends to it to be a cultural study that deals with genocide in historical writing (Herodotus and Thucydides), literature and myth among the Greeks and Romans (Homer, Virgil, Aeschylus and others), philosophy (Plato, Cicero), and religious texts (the Torah). , theater (Shakespeare's The Tempest and the theme of noble colonialism), colonial thought, the Age of Enlightenment, and ends with modern and contemporary philosophy (Spinoza, Toland, Hume, Lyotard, Deleuze). The translator, Ali Mezher, has made a great effort in translating this book from a variety of sources, hoping that it will inspire more interest in this field.
