  • Donald Bloxham's The Final Solution: A Genocide

    1942 Words  | 4 Pages

    Bloxham's book ‘The final solution: A genocide’ has brought about much criticism and debate. In this book Bloxham “seeks to situate the mass-murder of European Jewry between 1941 and 1945 within the broader history of European genocide from 1875 to 1945” . In this, he challenges the uniqueness of the holocaust, and presents the argument that the full meaning of the holocaust and final solution can only be completely understood, if it is placed in the larger context of genocide. Bloxham argues that “the history of the holocaust is itself an international history, and international history always has comparative dimensions” . Furthermore, in the forum Bloxham states that the aim of the book was to bring the holocaust into a wider history of genocide and bridge together the holocaust and genocide studies. This analysis will look at each review in order of appearance in the forum, and the comments Bloxham reports back in reaction. However in light of this analysis, not all points that were raised will be able to be commented on, instead this analysis will focus on the key point’s aspect of each review.

  • The Coming Anarchy, by Robert D. Kaplan

    When looking for a topic to dispute I found that I agreed with many of the assertions the authors presented. It was a struggle to find something I disagreed with. In my search, I chose to look at Robert D. Kaplan’s book, “The Coming Anarchy” again. The challenge that we all have is that no matter how critical and analytical we attempt to view a reading we all have our bias. My particular bias is that I cannot separate my view of the world and where it is going from my theology. In light of my theology, I struggled to find much I disagreed with in Kaplan’s writing. As I read Kaplan’s arguments a second time, I took a closer look at his section on the environment titled, “The Environment as a Hostile Power.” Though several authors dealt with the environment Kaplan has a much more assertive argument then the others.
