Description
"Of all the atrocities that hide beneath the political subordination of reality, there is none more odious than genocide. With today's digital post-truth tactics, genocide deniers have found not just another tool for their toolbelt--they have found a flamethrower. Bedross Der Matossian's Shattered Truths is a monumental achievement, bringing these tactics to light and, one hopes, helping others to recognize that the slaughter of innocents often walks hand in hand with the death of truth."--Lee McIntyre, author of Post-Truth "The subject of Shattered Truths is of critical urgency as the problem of genocide denial on digital platforms is increasing exponentially. The rise of the internet and digital platforms have contributed to the unprecedented speed and proliferation of denial. The lack of regulation of the digital space allows denial to spread with no consequence, and the implications of this are profound. The collection is diverse in its approaches, and it covers significant ground."--Jelena Subotic, author of Yellow Star, Red Star: Holocaust Remembrance after Communism
