The field of contemporary Holocaust studies is increasingly international in perspective. These approaches do not detach themselves from European history; rather, they incorporate perspectives and voices not always considered in more traditional Holocaust studies.

The contributors to this volume take such an approach as they examine the Holocaust, adding to the historical and memorial reach of the subject through an international range of voices. Global Approaches to the Holocaust asks: What happens when scholars shift their focus from an exclusively European perspective of the Holocaust? What new insights are gained from exploring the impact of the Holocaust from outside the European milieu? How do countries that were not directly affected by Nazi policies of occupation and extermination remember the Holocaust? What consequences does an expansive approach to the Holocaust entail?

With essays about North and South Africa, Mauritius, Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, the Philippines, the United States, Australia, Canada, India, Pakistan, Palestine, Columbia, New Zealand, and more, Global Approaches to the Holocaust seeks to create a critical voice in Holocaust studies that encompasses not only Europe but also Asia, Africa, South and North America, Australia, and the Middle East.

Reviews for Global Approaches to the Holocaust: Memory, History, and Representation

""This thematically and geographically wide-ranging collection of essays is a significant contribution to the ongoing discussion about how our understanding of the Holocaust should relate to global histories of colonialism, slavery, apartheid, and migration.""--Alan E. Steinweis, Raul Hilberg Distinguished Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Vermont ""This collection of essays offers a timely, thought-provoking account of the global history of the Holocaust. [Its] chapters provide groundbreaking insights not only on the impact of the Holocaust outside of Europe, most importantly through the global Jewish refugee streams it unleashed, but also on the complex Holocaust memory cultures that evolved around the world after the tragedy. Bringing together scholars from around the world, Global Approaches to the Holocaust is a crucial addition to the field of Holocaust studies.""--David Motadel, associate professor of international history at the London School of Economics and Political Science ""This remarkable volume offers scholars new and vibrant perspectives on the history and memory of the Holocaust from across six continents. In the process, it illuminates the myriad ways that the Holocaust continues to reverberate far beyond the lands where it occurred.""--Tomaz Jardim, professor of history at Toronto Metropolitan University
