Critical Cataloging: Examining LCSH as Text: A Visualization by Mia Tignor

Genocide

In keeping with Berman's justifications for the problematic nature of Race Question, he also stated that Genocide's addition of RACE PROBLEMS as a sa poses a major problem:

Signifying mass murder, the deliberate annihilation or degradation of a people, "Genocide" itself represents a problem of massive proportions. Only by means of a lingual alchemy, perverting the very substance of speech can it be counted as an aspect of "Race problems" or vice versa.

Sanford Berman, Prejudices and Antipathies, 1971.

Remedies: Race problems cross-refs deleted, Add sa Trials (Genocide)
