SUMMARY:In Conversation: Clifton Crais and Larry Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Historian Clifton Crais will discuss his new book\, The Killin
 g Age: How violence made the modern world\, with anthropologist Larry Rose
 n.  A reception will follow their discussion.\n\nIn this bracing\, landma
 rk book\, Crais urges us to view the growth of global capitalism between 1
 750 and the early 1900s not as the Anthropocene\, but as the Mortecene: th
 e Killing Age. Killing brought the world together and tore it apart\, as p
 rofiteering warlords committed mass-scale slaughter of humans and animals 
 across Africa\, Asia\, and the Americas. The newfound ease and profitabili
 ty of killing created a disturbing network of global connections and econo
 mies\, eliminating tens of millions of people and sparking an environmenta
 l crisis that remains the most urgent catastrophe facing the world today.
