An indispensable resource for those interested in the scourge of
mass murder and genocide in the 20th and 21st centuries, this book
analyzes modern and contemporary controversies and issues to help
readers to understand genocide in all its complexity. This vital
reference work looks at current areas of debate in genocide studies
to provide insights into what a genocide is, why genocides occur,
and what the consequences are once a genocide is recognized as
such. It also illuminates how and why rational people can view the
same set of circumstances as genocide or not, and how it might be
possible in the future to alleviate or even prevent genocide.
Dozens of accomplished scholars provide perceptive insights into
the controversies and issues that dominate genocide discussions.
The book is organized into five parts. The first considers how
genocide is defined, while the second covers the pre-1945 period as
it includes such controversial topics as the American Indian Wars,
Australian Aborigines, Irish Potato Famine, Armenian Genocide,
Ukrainian Starvation, and Holocaust. A Cold War section examines
genocidal violence in Cambodia, East Timor, and Guatemala and
against the Kurds; a post-Cold War period section covers Bosnia,
Rwanda, Darfur, and the Rohingya in Myanmar. The final part
concerns such issues as genocide prevention, humanitarian
intervention, and the role of military personnel as perpetrators of
genocide.
