With her singular artwork and revelatory approach, Dana Walrath is an unflinching guide through the long sweep of humanity’s most shameful episodes. This is how art answers back.—Joe Sacco, author of Palestine and The Once and Future Riot

Through an ingenious welding of words and pictures, the personal and the historical, Dana Mashoian Walrath helps us overcome our resistance to the horrific and urgent subject of genocide. Even turning the pages of this very book in our hands becomes an interactive tool for undoing the process of dehumanization. Walrath’s vision is deeply humane, and her message couldn't be timelier.—Alison Bechdel, author of Spent and Fun Home

Essential reading. History lesson. Cautionary tale. The Book of Genocides is all this and much more. This breathtaking graphic narrative is as brave as it is beautiful. It should be on reading lists and syllabi everywhere.—Nick Sousanis, author of Unflattening

Necessary and heartbreaking, The Book of Genocides arrives as we witness at least two genocides unfolding in real time, on our phones, through our social media feeds, as news headlines. Dana Walrath’s expansive, thoughtful graphic narrative examines what genocide has meant to millions and asks why that knowledge has not protected those still at risk. I hope this book helps future generations avoid the mistakes that brought us here.—Deena Mohamed, author of Shubeik Lubeik,

The Book of Genocides is an innovative, expressive, and devastating account of ten genocides—and the genocidal impulse across time and location. Artist and anthropologist Dana Mashoian Walrath offers readers a handwritten, collaged, and drawn report that invites connection even while detailing horror. Formally experimental and deeply thoughtful, this is a profound and moving work.—Hillary Chute, author of Disaster Drawn

A brilliant and imaginative book that helps us grapple with some of the most immoral and devastating acts of violence in human history.—Cynthia Leitich Smith, author of On a Wing and a Tear
