Volume III examines the most well-known century of genocide, the twentieth century. Opening with a discussion on the definitions of genocide and 'ethnic cleansing' and their relationships to modernity, it continues with a survey of the genocide studies field, racism and antisemitism. The four parts cover the impacts of Racism, Total War, Imperial Collapse, and Revolution; the crises of World War Two; the Cold War; and Globalization. Twenty-eight scholars with expertise in specific regions document thirty genocides from 1918 to 2021, in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The cases range from the Armenian Genocide to Maoist China, from the Holocaust to Stalin's Ukraine, from Indonesia to Guatemala, Biafra, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda, and finally the contemporary fate of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and the ISIS slaughter of Yazidis in Iraq.

Chapter 10: This chapter examines sonic memories of the Armenian Genocide, drawing on survivors' earwitness testimonies (testimonies describing auditory and sonic experiences of the Genocide). While visual evidence predominates in studies of genocide, this chapter makes the claim that sonic memory-as a site of historical, cultural, and affective knowledge, and as a type of memory that can be individually and collectively formed-can deepen our understanding of the historical aspects of genocide, as well as the social, psychological, and emotional dimensions of genocide. In relation to contested histories, attending to sonic memories can also be a form of 'counterlistening': listening against official narratives of genocide and, in the case of the Armenian Genocide, against the narrative of genocide denial that continues to be maintained by the Turkish state. This chapter suggests that the voices of Armenian Genocide victims-concealed and denied for over a century by Turkey-can nevertheless be excavated and listened to via the sonic memories of genocide survivors. In engaging with sonic memories, it draws on oral testimonies collected by Verjiné Svazlian, an Armenian ethnographer who walked from village to village in Soviet Armenia for a period of decades, collecting, recording, and transcribing some 700 survivors' testimonies when it was not safe to do so. It contends with Svazlian's original acts of counterlistening and 'soundwalking' and how they make possible a more shared or public form of listening today. More broadly, this chapter considers how sound and listening formed a part of the injuries as well as the violent tactics of the Armenian Genocide; and asks how listening to genocide can reshape our understanding of genocide and its effects.

'Navigating Cultural Memory' examines how a master narrative of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi evolved into a hegemonic narrative both in Rwanda and globally. Identifying key actors who shaped and responded to the evolution and enforcement of the master narrative in the first two decades after the genocide and civil war ended, it engages with important questions about collective memory, trauma, and power following violent and divisive events.
