The Link Between Culture & Extremism: An Integrated Model to Combating Art Trafficking
Cultural cleansing is described as the deliberate destruction and eradication of any evidence of religious and historical presence of the original population in a war-torn region. Tasoula Hadjitofi argues that recent developments in the Middle East have shown, once again, that cultural cleansing can no longer be a secondary priority in areas of conflict but must be seen as a much more serious crime. Ms. Hadjitofi will draw on European history and examples from around the globe β including Greece, Italy, Guatemala, Mali, Canada, and others β to discuss this phenomenon.
