Epistemicide

By Ydroudj Lakhdar

Perhaps the worst crime of all is not only to kill people, but above all to erase, once and for all, what they think? Epistemicide is the term that carefully describes all the premeditated violence committed against the intangible heritage of civilizations: i.e., the deliberate annihilation of the knowledge, languages and memories of peoples who have been colonized, martyred, defeated and exterminated. This book reveals how the destruction of intangible heritage has served as a weapon of submission and domination. An indispensable book for understanding the invisible battles that shape the world.Today, under the guise of modernity and progress, new mechanisms of erasure are being put in place. The algorithms of digital cartels impose invisibility on minority knowledge, eradicating cognitive alternatives. More than an essay, L' pist micide is a cry of alarm, as it reveals the mechanisms of this intellectual crime.
