Can new language reshape our understanding of the past and expand the possibilities of the future? The Crime Without a Name: Combatting Ethnocide and the Erasure of Culture in America (Counterpoint, 2021) follows Pitner's journey to identify and remedy the linguistic void in how we discuss race and culture in the United States. Ethnocide, first coined in 1944 by Jewish exile Raphael Lemkin (who also coined the term “genocide”), describes the systemic erasure of a people's ancestral culture. For Black Americans, who have endured this atrocity for generations, this erasure dates back to the transatlantic slave trade and reached new resonance in a post-Trump world. Just as the concept of genocide radically reshaped our perception of human rights in the twentieth century, reframing discussions about race and culture in terms of ethnocide can change the way we understand our diverse and rapidly evolving racial and political climate in a time of increased visibility around police brutality and systemic racism. The Crime Without a Name traces the historical origins of ethnocide in the United States, examines the personal, lived consequences of existing within an ongoing erasure, and offers ways for readers to combat and overcome our country's ethnocidal foundation.

America is tearing itself apart. Massive social unrest has swept through the nation following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Peaceful protests demanding more police accountability were soon hijacked by bad actors and turned many of the protests into riots, which included looting, destruction of businesses and property, and violence that have left people dead and brutally injured on both sides. My guest today is Barrett Holmes Pitner, he’s a writer, philosopher, and founder of the cultural think tank, the Sustainable Culture Lab. On today’s show, we’re going to discuss the fallout of George Floyd’s murder, the political and social ramifications, and ways Americans can solve the root cause of the problem. "Hashing it Out" is a podcast hosted by Siraj Hashmi, Washington Examiner's commentary video editor and writer. Each episode includes a political guest to offer historical context of the news and politics of the day and insight into how we got to where we are. If you want to find the deeper meaning behind current events, then "Hashing it Out" is the podcast for you.
Culture in America is often hard to define. Some would argue that culture has been deliberately and systematically destroyed. In 1944, Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jew who fled the Nazis to America, coined the terms “genocide” and “ethnocide.” While Lemkin believed those words to be interchangeable, the definitions diverged over the last several decades. Genocide, a widely understood concept today, focuses on the intentional physical destruction of a large number of people, particularly of a certain group. Meanwhile, ethnocide, a term which is seldom used, concentrates on the destruction of the culture of a certain group of people. My guest is Barrett Holmes Pitner, he’s a philosopher, writer, journalist, and founder of the cultural think tank, Sustainable Culture Lab. He’s also been published in the Daily Beast and BBC. On today’s show, we’re going to discuss what “ethnocide” means, how it impacts American society today, and what grassroots organizations, like the Sustainable Culture Lab, are doing to reverse its effects.
