During the 20th century tens of millions of people were annihilated
by genocidal regimes. As we enter the 21st century, we must look
back and attempt to comprehend what has been aptly termed the
"century of genocide." It is only through such understanding that
we can begin to imagine ways of preventing or minimizing future
atrocities. "
Genocide: An Anthropological Reader" lays the foundation for a
ground-breaking "anthropology of genocide" by gathering together
for the first time the seminal texts for learning about and
understanding this phenomenon. While scholars in other fields have
conducted excellent analyses of the macrolevel factors facilitating
genocide, few have been able to approach genocide from the local
perspective. By filling this important niche-pulling together key
anthropological and interdisciplinary sources on genocide -
"Genocide: An Anthropological Reader" stands both to make an
important contribution to our understanding of genocide and to
serve as a valuable resource for readers across a wide variety of
fields.
