Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction is the most wide-ranging
textbook on genocide yet published. The book is designed as a text
for upper-undergraduate and graduate students, as well as a primer
for non-specialists and general readers interested in learning
about one of humanity's enduring blights. Fully updated to reflect
the latest thinking in this rapidly developing field, this unique
book: Provides an introduction to genocide as both a historical
phenomenon and an analytical-legal concept, including the concept
of genocidal intent, and the dynamism and contingency of genocidal
processes. Discusses the role of state-building, imperialism, war,
and social revolution in fuelling genocide. Supplies a wide range
of full-length case studies of genocides worldwide, each with a
supplementary study. Explores perspectives on genocide from the
social sciences, including psychology, sociology, anthropology,
political science/international relations, and gender studies.
Considers "The Future of Genocide," with attention to historical
memory and genocide denial; initiatives for truth, justice, and
redress; and strategies of intervention and prevention. Highlights
of the new edition include: Nigeria/Biafra as a "contested case" of
genocide Extensive new material on the Kurds, Islamic State/ISIS,
and the civil wars/genocide in Iraq and Syria. Conflict and
atrocities in the world's newest state, South Sudan. The role,
activities, and constraints of the United Nations Office of
Genocide Prevention. Many new testimonies from genocide victims,
survivors, witnesses-and perpetrators. Dozens of new images,
including a special photographic essay. Written in clear and lively
prose with over 240 illustrations and maps, Genocide: A
Comprehensive Introduction remains the indispensable text for new
generations of genocide study and scholarship. An accompanying
website (www.genocidetext.net) features a broad selection of
supplementary materials, teaching aids, and Internet resources.
