Genocide occurs in every time period and on every continent. Using
the 1948 U.N. definition of genocide as its departure point, this
book examines the main episodes in the history of genocide from the
beginning of human history to the present. Norman M. Naimark
lucidly shows that genocide both changes over time, depending on
the character of major historical periods, and remains the same in
many of its murderous dynamics. He examines cases of genocide as
distinct episodes of mass violence, but also in historical
connection with earlier episodes. Unlike much of the literature in
genocide studies, Naimark argues that genocide can also involve the
elimination of targeted social and political groups, providing an
insightful analysis of communist and anti-communist genocide. He
pays special attention to settler (sometimes colonial) genocide as
a subject of major concern, illuminating how deeply the elimination
of indigenous peoples, especially in Africa, South America, and
North America, influenced recent historical developments. At the
same time, the "classic" cases of genocide in the twentieth Century
- the Armenian Genocide, the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Bosnia - are
discussed, together with recent episodes in Darfur and Congo.
