Description
Guilt by Location explores the devastating phenomenon of forced displacement in civil conflicts, demonstrating how geography and location become proxies for determining who is considered an enemy combatant. Adam Lichtenheld provides a comprehensive analysis of population sorting mechanisms employed during civil wars, revealing how civilians are forcibly moved based on their residential location and ethnic or political identity.
Through rigorous case studies and empirical evidence, the book investigates why combatants resort to displacement strategies and how these tactics reshape conflict dynamics and post-war societies. Lichtenheld examines the relationship between territorial control, civilian vulnerability, and the creation of ethnically or politically homogeneous zones. The work contributes significantly to understanding civil war violence, forced migration, and the long-term consequences of displacement on affected populations and conflict resolution efforts.
