This book explores the subject of genocide through key debates and
case studies. It analyses the dynamics of genocide - the processes
and mechanisms of acts committed with the intention of destroying,
in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, religious or racial group
- in order to shed light upon its origins, characteristics and
consequences. Debating Genocide begins with an introduction to the
concept of genocide. It then examines the colonial genocides at the
end of the 19th- and start of the 20th-centuries; the Armenian
Genocide of 1915-16; the Nazi 'Final Solution'; the Nazi genocide
of the Gypsies; mass murder in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge; the
genocides in the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda; and the
genocide in Sudan in the early 21st century. It also includes a
thematic chapter which covers gender and genocide, as well as
issues of memory and memorialisation. Finally, the book considers
how genocides end, as well as the questions of resolution and
denial, with Lisa Pine examining the debates around prediction and
prevention and the R2P (Responsibility to Protect) initiative. This
book is crucial for any students wanting to understand why
genocides have occurred, why they still occur and what the key
historical discussions around this subject entail.
