Providing an intellectual biography of the challenging concept of
genocide from inception to present day, this topical Handbook takes
an interdisciplinary approach to shed new light on the events,
processes, and legacies in the field. Reaching beyond the
traditional study of canonical genocides and related pathologies of
behaviour, this Handbook strives to spell out the multiple
dimensions of genocide studies as an academic realm. In doing so,
it incorporates a vast range of methods and disciplines, including
historiography, archival research, listening to testimony,
philosophical inquiry, film studies, and art criticism.
Contributors address a broad array of episodes, including genocides
of indigenous populations in the Americas and Africa, the Armenian
genocide, the Holocaust, twentieth century genocides in Indonesia,
Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and twenty-first century genocides in
Iraq, Myanmar, and China. By developing a cross-disciplinary
framework, this Handbook showcases the diversity that comprises the
field and creates a rich understanding of the origin, effects, and
legacy of genocide. With a wide variety of perspectives, this
Handbook will prove an invigorating read for students and scholars
of international and human rights, public policy, and political
geography and geopolitics, particularly those interested in
genocide studies and the UN Genocide Convention.
