The 10 stages of the genocide of a human group. Schematic depiction of the 10 stages that lead to the homicidal phases of a human group. The 10 stages were developed by Stanton (2013).

Genocide is a dehumanizing crime that threatens the welfare of any civilized society. Yet, before the annihilation of any targeted human group, the collective outcomes of the genocidal process (e.g., systemic desecrations) and genocidal death effect (e.g., years of mass deaths and death disparities) have often gone undetected, underestimated, or ig...

... scholar, Gregory Stanton, proposes that genocide manifests during 10) stages. The stages include, Classification, Symbolization, Discrimination, Dehumanization, Organization, Polarization, Preparation, Persecution, Extermination, andDenial (Stanton, 2013, 2016), (Figure 2). Stanton and others postulate that 8 of the 10 genocide stages are active in the US, and they draw a striking correlation to the deprivation, human right abuses, and dehumanizing experiences that many Blacks and other marginalized groups experience in the US (Ellawala, 2016;Messerly, 2017;Stanton, 2016). ...

... A associação entre suicídio e genocídio no Brasil* tem também muitos paralelos com experiências semelhantes de povos indígenas ao redor do mundo, conforme discutido por Talaga (2020), especialmente o alto índice de vítimas entre adolescentes e jovens adultos em uma situação de discrepância entre antigas tradições e um presente desafiador moldado pelo abandono oficial impulsionado pelo racismo. Da mesma forma, Jones-Eversley et al. (2020) demonstram que as longas tendências de homicídios e mortes por suicídio que geram mortes prematuras de homens negros americanos são evidências não detectadas e subestimadas de um fenômeno genocida em curso. Os suicídios por motivos étnicos afetam muitos indivíduos que compartilham a mesma suscetibilidade a assassinatos por motivos étnicos. ...
This book was written from February to September 2020 (informed by ongoing research projects) as an analysis of the genocidal violence perpetrated against indigenous peoples in Brazil and, specifically, towards the Guarani-Kaiowa (the indigenous groups most severely affected by land grabbing, homicides, suicides and sheer misery). The idea of the book emerged after the election of the neo-fascist President Bolsonaro and was consolidated after the spread of Covid-19 pandemic among the indigenous population. The publication contextualizes those recent developments (Bolsonaro and Coronavirus) in the wider historical and geographical trajectory of the Guarani-Kaiowa since the 17th century. Although the publication does not target an academic audience only, it has one full chapter on the meaning and reinterpretations of genocide and indigenous genocide, which also proposes a new conceptualization. The ongoing indigenous genocide is defined as ‘Kaiowcide’, in place since the 1970s, when the Guarani-Kaiowa mobilized a reaction to land grabbing and oppression in the final years of the military dictatorship. The reaction to grassroots mobilization came in the form of Kaiowcide and it coincides with the consolidation of an agribusiness-based economy. Instead of merely describing the genocidal tragedy, the focus is on the life through genocide and trying to collectively go beyond it.
(First page) "Primeiro ‘eles’ vieram para escravizar, cristianizar e controlar as pessoas que viviam no centro do continente sul-americano e entre os grandes rios. ‘Eles’ eram muito estranhos, com armas perigosas e pesados crucifixos, temperamento agitado e apetites insaciáveis. As pessoas sabiam que viviam no centro da parte mais importante do mundo, mas ‘eles’ eram muito ignorantes e não conseguiam entender. Empunhado esses papéis, ‘eles’ forçaram as pessoas a deixar a terra, expulsaram os espíritos sagrados e confinaram todos em espaços microscópicos. Um grupo dessas pessoas do centro do continente adotou um nome novo e lindo – Kaiowá – como uma espécie de segundo batismo e que serviu para diferenciá-los um pouco dos seus irmãos, as outras famílias Guarani que também viviam no centro do continente. O povo entendeu que as coisas haviam mudado muito e que havia novos chefes para fazer cumprir o que estava impresso em seus muitos livros de regras. ‘Eles’ continuaram tristes e zangados, cada vez mais agressivos com as pessoas do centro do continente, que apesar de tudo ainda estavam lá, observando, sentindo e pensando muito seriamente sobre o que lhes havia acontecido."
Over the past three decades, there has been a disproportionate increase in premature deaths among young Black Males (YMBs) in the US. This devastating trend has been largely driven by suicide in YBMs. Ecological and interpersonal psychological theories can be leveraged to understand the etiology of premature death in YBMs through both risk and protective factors. This cross-sectional study assessed the influence of depression, self-reliance, Ubuntu (a commonly noted feature of the Afrocentric worldview), and attitudes toward mental health help-seeking behaviors on suicidal ideation among YBMs.
Participants (n = 422) who were identified as male, Black American, or African American and aged 18–29 years old completed an online survey between June and July 2022. Ordinal logistic regression correctly classified 76.5% of cases and found a statistically significant difference between observed and expected values.
The odds of reporting suicidal ideation were higher among those with more symptoms of depression and self-reliance and lower among participants who reported more compassion compared to the reference group.
These findings suggest that compassion, an important aspect of Ubuntu, may have a protective effect against suicidal ideation, whereas high levels of depression and self-reliance may be linked to a greater vulnerability to suicidal ideation. As such, the current study recommends that interventions should reduce suicidal ideation and increase mental well-being among YBMs.
In recent years, police violence has amassed notable international attention from the public, practitioners, and academics alike. This paper explores experiences and perceptions of police violence in Canada, documenting the impacts of direct and vicarious experiences of police violence on inner-city residents. The study employed semi-structured interviews with 45 community members across three Toronto inner-city neighbourhoods. Using a general interview prompt guide, participants were asked a range of questions about their experiences with and perceptions of police, and particularly, of police violence in their community. The interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, thematically coded, and analyzed. All participants reported direct and/or vicarious experiences of police violence, and most described experiencing long-standing, and continual fear that police contact would result in harm to them. Further, participants described a variety of serious and negative outcomes associated with experiencing and/or witnessing police violence. Police violence in Canada is a public health issue that requires an integrated public health policy approach to address the negative outcomes associated with direct and vicarious police violence exposure.
