I am sure there is no way for me to avoid controversy regardless of which conflicts I pick to be represented in a blog and cookbook about genocide survivors. Every survivor of mass atrocities agaisnt civilians may they be classified as genocide or not deserve their voice to be heard. This project may be the first of many, but in order to connect these six conflicts spanning 3 continents and nearly 100 years, I choose to focus this blog and cookbook on the most widely recognized genocides of the 20th and 21st centuries. Those would be:
- Armenia
- Holocaust
- Cambodia
- Rwanda
- Bosnia
- Darfur
I am very open to feedback on this issue along with everything else. I know there are strong opinions on whether these constitute genocide and that other conflicts deserve to recognized as genocide. I will gladly add other conflicts in order to celebrate those cultures if I have time and someone opens my eyes to why they should be added to this list.
Thanks for your support!
How about the Palestinians?
