In Conversation with Sindre Bangstad and Knut G. Nustad About Anthropology, Hate Speech and Incitement to Commit Genocide. House of Literature, May 14, 2013

This Chapter sees a conversation between Prof. Richard Ashby Wilson (University of Connecticut) and Sindre Bangstad and Associate Professor Knut G. Nustad (University of Oslo) about anthropology, hate speech and incitement to commit genocide. Wilson, a central scholar in the anthropology of law and human rights in recent decades, tells the story of how he first came to take an interest in this field of study while undertaking fieldwork in a Mayan Indian community in Guatemala in the late 1980s. Wilson also discusses his work on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in post-apartheid South Africa, and his more recent work on how international criminal courts established in the wake of war in the former Yugoslavia and the genocide in Rwanda have dealt with hate speech and incitement to genocide.
