Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia and Cambodia is the first
comparative study of the Ethiopian and Cambodian revolutions of the
early 1970s. One of the few comparative studies of genocide in the
developing world, this book presents some of the key arguments in
traditional genocide scholarship, but the book's author, Edward
Kissi, takes a different position, arguing that the Cambodian
genocide and the atrocious crimes in Ethiopia had very different
motives. Kissi's findings reveal that genocide was a tactic
specifically chosen by Cambodia's Khmer Rouge to intentionally and
systematically annihilate certain ethnic and religious groups,
whereas Ethiopia's Dergue resorted to terror and political killing
in the effort to retain power. Revolution and Genocide in Ethiopia
and Cambodia demonstrates that the extent to which revolutionary
states turn to policies of genocide depends greatly on how they
acquire their power and what domestic and international opposition
they face. This is an important and intriguing book for students of
African and Asian history and those interested in the study of
genocide.
