This book rethinks the normative relationship between dignity, truth, and memory in relation to genocide denial by adopting the framework of epistemic injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis framework performs two functions. First, it introduces constructive normative vocabulary into genocide scholarship through which we can gain a better understanding of the normative impacts of genocide denial when it is institutionalized and systematic. Second, it develops and enriches current scholarship on epistemic injustice with a further, underexplored case study. Genocide denialism is relevant for political and social epistemology, as it presents a substantive epistemic practice that distorts normativity and social reality in ways that maintain domination. This generates pervasive ignorance that makes denial rather than recognition of genocide appear as the morally and epistemically right thing to do. By focusing on the prominent case of Turkey’s denialism of the Armenian genocide, the book shows the serious consequences of this kind of epistemic injustice for the victim group and society as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Epistemic Injustice of Genocide Denialism\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to students and scholars working in social, political, and applied epistemology, social and political philosophy, genocide studies, Armenian studies, and memory studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunded by: Swiss National Science Foundation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51630377009439,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0860\/2240\/files\/EpistemicInjusticeofGenocideDenialism_theCover.jpg?v=1772210339","url":"https:\/\/naasr.org\/products\/epistemic-injustice-of-genocide-denialism-the","provider":"NAASR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
