"Destroy Them Gradually focuses our attention on spatial techniques of displacement and their prominent role in group destruction. Basso offers a compelling argument for taking displacement seriously as a crime and demonstrates the new and profound insights one gains when giving fuller attention to questions of when, where, and why this method of atrocity is deployed."-- Andrew Woolford, author of This Benevolent Experiment: Indigenous Boarding Schools, Genocide, and Redress in Canada a "In this brilliant intervention, Andrew Basso demonstrates that displacement constitutes its own understudied method of mass violence. Basso reveals the role of displacement in historical atrocities and, as we nosedive into intense climate change, how it is rapidly becoming perhaps the most prevalent form of mass destruction. Anyone concerned with the future of mass violence should read this timely contribution." -- Benjamin Meiches, Benjamin Meiches, associate professor of Politics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at the University o "Destroy Them Gradually focuses our attention on spatial techniques of displacement and their prominent role in group destruction.
