How has human response to genocide evolved over time? What effect
has it had on our understanding of the cause and consequences of
genocide? Spanning 2,800 years of human history, A Cultural History
of Genocide offers the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary
overview of genocide from ancient times to the present day. With
six highly illustrated volumes all written by leading scholars,
this is the definitive reference work on the subject of genocide.
Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to
make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical
across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of reading about
a specific period in one of the volumes, or following a theme
across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of the six.
The six volumes cover: 1. - Ancient World (800 BCE - 800 CE); 2. -
Middle Ages (800 - 1400); 3. - Early Modern World (1400 - 1789); 4.
- Long Nineteenth Century (1789 - 1914); 5. - Era of Total War
(1914 - 1945); 6. - Modern World (1945 - present). Themes (and
chapter titles) are: Responses to Genocide; Motivations and
Justifications for Genocide; Genocide Perpetrators; Genocide
Victims; Genocide and Memory; Consequences of Genocide;
Representations of Genocide; Causes of Genocide. The page extent
for the pack is approximately 1,720 pp with c. 240 illustrations.
Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction
and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index. The Cultural
Histories Series A Cultural History of Genocide is part of The
Cultural Histories series. Titles are available both as printed
hardcover sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring
a one-off purchase and tangible reference for their shelves, or as
part of a fully searchable digital library available to
institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual access (see
www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
