USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research welcomed UCLA Professor Benjamin Madley to USC on Tuesday to give a lecture on a genocide that hits closer to home, at least in a geographic sense, than any other: the genocide of American Indians in California in the mid-19th century.

Madley has just published a book on the subject, An American Genocide: The United States and the California Indian Catastrophe, 1846-1873. He is a historian of Native America, the United States, and genocide in world history.
