Description
A global and comprehensive history of a modern institution of inhumanity. In popular perception concentration camps are synonymous with genocide and Nazi racial extermination. Yet concentration camps were and are a global phenomenon, not restricted to Nazi Germany, used at times even by democracies, with an astonishing range of functions. Drawing together a wide range of multi-lingual archival research and synthesising a broad secondary literature, Alan Kramer provides here a comprehensive history of concentration camps, charting their first establishment at the beginning of the twentieth century on the colonial periphery, through their most extreme and inhuman instances in the mid-twentieth century, to their continued use today. Concentration camps are shown to be a truly transnational phenomenon that emerged both simultaneously (within and between imperial spheres—Britain, Spain, the USA, and Germany around 1900), and diachronically (from then to the First World War, the Gulag, and Nazi camps). Such camps existed (and exist) under a variety of regimes, often concomitant with empire-building by revolutionary dictatorships, as sites of genocide, mass murder, and performative violence, but also as central elements of utopian schemes of social and racial transformation. Integrating the perspective of perpetrators and the victims and contextualising them within the historiography of other carceral institutions, the book will reshape the way we think about concentration camps as part of modern civilization, past and present.

Alan Kramer has published widely on the history of war, including the prize-winning German Atrocities 1914. A History of Denial (Yale UP, 2001, with co-author John Horne). His next book, Dynamic of Destruction. Culture and Mass Killing in the First World War (OUP, 2007) applied a transnational perspective to war in Europe, 1912-23. As one of the founding editors of 1914-1918 Online. International Encyclopedia of the First World War, he has been at the forefront of the turn to global history, which inspired also his co-edited books, Welt der Lager. Zur "Erfolgsgeschichte" einer Institution (Hamburger Edition, 2013), and Fascist Warfare, 1922-1945 (Palgrave, 2019).
