Volume I offers an introductory survey of the phenomenon of
genocide. The first five chapters examine its major recurring
themes, while the further nineteen are specific case studies. The
combination of thematic and empirical approaches illuminates the
origins and long history of genocide, its causes, consistent
characteristics, and the connections linking various cases from
earliest times to the early modern era. The themes examined include
the roles of racism, the state, religion, gender prejudice, famine,
and climate crises, as well as the role of human decision-making in
the causation of genocide. The case studies cover events on four
continents, ranging from prehistoric Europe and the Andes to
ancient Israel, Mesopotamia, the early Greek world, Rome, Carthage,
and the Mediterranean. It continues with the Norman Conquest of
England's North, the Crusades, the Mongol Conquests, medieval India
and Viet Nam, and a panoramic study of pre-modern China, as well as
the Spanish conquests of the Canary Islands, the Caribbean, and
Mexico.
