Most books on genocide consider it primarily as a twentieth-century
phenomenon. In The Rise of the West and the Coming of Genocide,
Levene argues that this approach fails to grasp its true origins.
Genocide developed out of modernity and the striving for the
nation-state, both essentially Western experiences. It was European
expansion into all hemispheres between the fifteenth and nineteenth
centuries that provided the main stimulus to its pre-1914
manifestations. One critical outcome, on the cusp of modernity, was
the French revolutionary destruction of the Vendee. Levene finishes
this volume at the 1914 watershed with the destabilising effects of
the 'rise of the West' on older Ottoman,Chinese, Russian and
Austrian empires.
