In “Colonialism and the Heritage of Genocide,” participants will think through the ongoing genocide in Palestine through the lens of the Armenian genocide (1915-16). Professor Harootunian will discuss the failures of postcolonial theory to account for the contemporary material impact of the violence colonialism imparts to colonized subjects in their everyday lives.

Harry Harootunian is an emeritus professor of history at the University of Chicago. He has written and edited over 15 volumes and numerous essays on Japan, East Asia, Marx and historical practice, including most recently, The Unspoken as Heritage: The Armenian Genocide and its Unaccounted Lives (Duke University Press, 2019).
