The Geography of Genocide offers a unique analysis of over sixty
genocides in world history, explaining why genocides only occur in
territorial interiors and never originate from cosmopolitan urban
centers. This study explores why genocides tend to result from
emasculating political defeats experienced by perpetrator groups
and examines whether such extreme political violence is the product
of a masculine identity crisis. Author Allan D. Cooper notes that
genocides are most often organized and implemented by individuals
who have experienced traumatic childhood events involving the
abandonment or abuse by their father. Although genocides target
religious groups, nations, races or ethnic groups, these identity
structures are rarely at the heart of the war crimes that ensue.
Cooper integrates research derived from the study of serial killing
and rape to show certain commonalities with the phenomenon of
genocide. The Geography of Genocide presents various strategies for
responding to genocide and introduces Cooper's groundbreaking
alternatives for ultimately inhibiting the occurrence of genocide.
