New translation of Thomas Pegelow Kaplan's book is published

New translation of Thomas Pegelow Kaplan's book is published Maggie Rosenau Mon, 06/02/2025 - 10:15

An updated, revised and translated (into Russian) version of Professor Pegelow Kaplan's monograph The Language of Nazi Genocide has been published. The work is aimed at Russian readers "in the diaspora" from Israel to the Baltics and from Ukraine to Kazakhstan. By addressing the architecture of conceptual separation between groups and the means by which social aggression is disseminated, my study also offers a model for comparative studies of linguistic violence, hate speech, and genocide in the modern world, making it, sadly, ever more relevant today.
